Ios is a Cycladic island once popular with hippies. South of Naxos, the small island is famous for its intense nightlife since the 1960s. Every summer, Ios is the meeting place for a young clientele, mostly from northern Europe. Ios is pretty but barren and has beautiful coves, secluded bays and paths that rise up to Mount Pyrgos, the highest point of the island.

Chora is a beautiful example of Cycladic architecture, the village is sparkling with whiteness. Its streets are narrow, numerous and flowery. The ascent to the pretty chapel will allow you to observe the setting sun on the nearby island of Sikinos.

In the evening, the village moves. Mylopotas is a very large sandy beach that makes the reputation of the island. It is one of the largest beaches in the archipelago and one of the most beautiful. On the other hand, it is not the quietest or the least frequented.
