The Ios blog arriving

This blog is intended to be open for lovers of Ios when summer 2007 comes. It's also an opportunity to publish memories and photos from summers in before. Don't miss to check the Ios pirate's home page by the link to the right. Lots of images from 1993 and onwards.


Ios harbour, July 2006. Mess when people leave. Last night on Ios is for many the big one.

I've notised that if you search the net on Ios information you get loads of hits to travel agencies and hotel sites, all of them marketing just a few hotels, venues or services, or trying half-heartly to cover everything in order to sell something. In Ios there are hundreds of hotels and plenty of rooms to let. Only in August there may be a bit crowded if you expect to stay at a specific hotel.

This is how it works: The hotels come to you.
You don't have to book anything in advance, but it's a very good idea to grab a hotel in the harbour when you arrive. There are plenty of places. Don't hesitate to move on to another hotel if you are treated badly.



If you have booked a room, they pick you up here in the harbour. If you haven't booked you look at pictures, pick one according to your taste, and you get a ride up to the village or to the beach to have a look. Bargain. If you like the place: book the room for the initial price for the number of days you want to stay. Some hotels have a bad habit to higher the price after a couple of days when they notice you like to stay and haven't made a deal.
