For many visitors, Ios is one big party island. The local traditions and
history are ignored by the rave brigade but luckily, the word is out
that there’s more to Ios than Hora’s party-hard scene. With Homer’s tomb
and the excavated site of Skarkos, the island of Ios suits families,
history buffs and party animals alike. During the day, the main
town of Hora has lots to explore, including a typically labyrinthine old
town of narrow lanes and lovely whitewashed houses. The large cathedral
is the main landmark here. The beaches are a big draw on Ios,
with perhaps the most lovely stretch of sand on the island’s southern
tip at Manganari. Gialos is only a short walk from the port, and the
beach at Milopotas is resort central with a nightly party scene and
daytime water sports. Hire a scooter to reach quieter beaches dotted
around the coast.
