Chora is a classic Greek village. Built on hilly terrain, it offers a great number of scenic views as well as numerous side alleys to explore, not to mention the shops that line the streets of this whitewashed town. Chora is known for peaceful ambience by day, but also has a lively nightlife scene with numerous bars and clubs.
The most visited beach on the island is Mylopotas Beach, located right near the town of Chora. Like many of the beaches on Ios, this is a great place to enjoy the crystalline waters and white sand of the Aegean. Incidentally, this is also where visitors will find the well-known Far Out Beach Club, the number one spot to party on Ios.
This isolated Lorentzena or Loretzaina beach offers the perfect view of the Ios sunset. The location of the beach on the west side of the island, and the rocks surrounding it make the sunsets here picture perfect. There are no facilities at this beach, so bring enough water and food if you are staying awhile.
We went on this boat tour when we visited Ios and it was awesome! Serves you lunch and drinks, with a beautiful tour around the island. Also- it was not that crowded, as some boat tours are.
We came here after a boat tour to watch the sunset and swim. It has an infinity pool that overlooks the Agean sea. Once the sunsets it turns into a night club/party scene.
Situated across the Chora of Ios, on a row of granite rocks, this historical sunset bar is a sleek fusion of Cycladic architecture, contemporary space and ambiance. Explore the unbuttoned sense of sunset-viewing in the company of classical and lounge vibes, indulging in chilled signature cocktails and bespoke aperitivo, certain to evoke the most unforgettable experience.
