Panoramic view of the traditional white-washed houses and blue-domed churches of Chora, Ios, nestled on the hillside.

Ios, Homer's island, attracts tourists from all over the world. It is famous for its natural beauty and golden beaches that merge with the endless blue of the Aegean Sea. Such are Mylopotas, Psathi, Agia Theodoti, Manganari, and Kalamos. The island's villages, with their whitewashed houses, beautiful churches, and picturesque cobbled streets, are a wonderful example of Cycladic culture, whose roots are lost in the mists of time. The wild landscape of stone that dominates everywhere softens in the minds of visitors with the warmth and hospitality of the inhabitants. Tourist accommodation of all categories offers services tailored to modern needs, while preserving the traditional characteristics of the place unchanged. Excellent restaurants showcase local products such as unique varieties of cheese, thyme honey, capers, and more, dispelling the myth that the island is only famous for its lively nightlife.
