Ios is the quintessential party island. Leave your room
before 15:00 and you will find the place deserted. People sleep late and stay
up later. Heck, clubs in Ios only open at 02:00.
The main town of Chora is wall to wall restaurants, bars and
clubs. The town was built as a maze I’m told, and come 22:00 the narrow streets
are crowded with holiday makers (predominantly rowdy youngsters). If it’s a
party you are looking for, look no further, this little town has it all. The
layout is very conducive of mingling, with most establishments not charging a
cover fee, the streets bustling with activity and the distance between venues
almost negligible, add to this little concoction alcohol (in copious
quantities) and the general laid-back, friendly attitudes that most holiday
makers bring to Ios and you have the successful formula for a great party, and
a rough morning (or afternoon) after.
Ios however is not all about the Party (as is the case with
most islands), there are also spectacular beaches on the Aegean sea, where the
body beautiful frolic during the day. For holiday makers who want to have some fun, Ios is among the finest
destinations the world has to offer.
How to get to Ios
Ferry is the preferred means of travel when it comes to the
Greek islands. Catch a ferry from Piraeus port in Athens, or from any of the
other Greek islands (you may have to transfer).
Where to stay in Ios
There are many apartments, pensions and backpackers available. For
peace of mind, book in advance online. Alternatively, simply hop off the Ferry and get swamped by
competing establishments. Remember to haggle!
Francesco's in Choras is a great place with a great vibe!
Most companies offer a free pickup and drop off services from the
port, so no need to worry about getting to your accommodation.
How to get around Ios
Scooter is the generally accepted method of transport,
although almost everything is within walking distance.
Must do activities in Ios
Definitely go to the beach! Don't get overly absorbed in the
party, this is an island in paradise after all.
Francesco's in Choras is the place to be in the early
evening for drinks to kick start the night out.
Choras after 22:00 ... just float around, everything is
right there!
