Things To Do
Odysseus Elytis Amphitheater - A theatre in the mountains with gorgeous views of the Aegean Sea. The space has a capacity of 1,100 people and is usually used for plays and concerts. However, even when there is no show, the marble ancient Greek-style theatre is well worth the trip to witness the gorgeous Aegean views.
The old town (Chora) - In Ios, all roads lead to the old city. With beautiful Greek architecture, whitewashed houses, and sea-blue doors, the old town is a must-visit. The mazey streets are filled with cute cafes, local restaurants, and shops, so there is plenty to see as you navigate the alleys. Chora, or Hora as the Greeks pronounce it, is the heart of Ios, and it's where the party starts, but don't worry - during the day, it's as peaceful as ever.
Nightlife - It is well known that Ios has great nightlife, and we would like to emphasize that this isn't all Ios has to offer. However, the nightlife in Ios is very fun. With multiple bars and clubs that host world-famous DJs, you can party the night away.
