Book travel connections
to Greece early. Fly to Athens, take the Metro-express bus-taxi
from the Airport to Piraeus, then a ferry
to Ios. Another port Rafina
close to the airport has ferry connections. Fast ferries take 4-5 hours. Slower
ferries have outside seating and scenic island ports. Another option is to fly
to Santorini
a short ferry ride from Ios.
There are numerous hotels
and rooms starting with Athena Rooms. For coffee and pastries try
convenient Bakehouse. Breakfast-lunch are available at Seven
Eleven
with a view of the village.
Reliable local restaurants include The Nest with its own produce, The Mills next to old
windmills, and Safran at the top of the steps down to the port. At the port the Octopus Tree has fine seafood, Peri
Anemon first class grilled meat, and Akrogiali excellent
traditional dishes.
The beaches include Mylopotas with numerous restaurants and shops a short bus ride
or 30 minute walk from the village. One bus provides daily rides to Manganari beach. The port
beach Yialos is handy. Try a rental
car to visit the goat cheese museum Diaselis
with Homer's
tomb nearby and the impressive Odesseas Elytis amphitheater with
a view of Santorini.
Sunsets are something at Alma and Ios
Club not
to mention Pathos. For a relaxing
nightcap try Garden of Ios next to Athena
Rooms. Live rebetika music cranks up in tavernas at 9pm.
