About Ios

Ios built its reputation as the party island of the Aegean, a rite of passage for young backpackers since the 1970s. It still parties hard in high summer, but there is a calmer, beautiful island too. Open our island guide for the towns, sights, beaches, places to eat, drink and stay, and how to get there.
