The island Ios is located in the middle of one of the most successful tourist areas on earth, right in – between two world class destinations, Mykonos and Santorini.
In the heart of the Cyclades, Ios is easily reached. The island is famous all over the world, for the characteristic Aegean architecture, cultural sights, spectacular beaches, pristine natural landscapes and buzzing nightlife as part of a wider island-hopping itinerary.
The fact that there is no airport on Ios explains why the island has avoided mass tourism and maintained its natural beauty. Instead most guests fly to Athens or one of the larger Greek islands and travel onwards from there. From Athens (Piraeus) guests can take the high-speed ferry (3.5 hours). A choice of regular and high-speed boats is also available from Santorini (45 minutes), Mykonos (2 hours) and Crete (Heraklion is 2.5 hours away).
Ios, is also well known for its historical landmarks, such as Homer’s Tomb, its picturesque villages and also the warm hospitality of the locals. Ios is a charming holiday destination catering to all tastes and desires and promising you the holidays of a lifetime.
Recent discoveries are shedding new light on Ios’s history through the ages. On the hill of Skarkos, near the Chora, archeologists have unearthed the first known Cycladic-era community, dating back from the 3rd millennium BC.
Visitors can explore the site and discover for themselves the highly developed sense of architecture and town-planning reflected in the ruins of the Skarko prehistoric community. Furthermore, Ios’ archeological museum combined with a number of additional excavation sites can provide the visitor with a glimpse into the island’s past and its position as a key maritime outpost through the ages.
