Other than partying, the island can provide its visitors with absolute calmness. In the morning, during the sunrise, the island becomes a picturesque landscape. There are cube-shaped little houses, built in a semi-circular way and churches on the hillsides. Ideal places for you to wander around. The Cycladic white alleys, the twelve windmills, churches with arched bell towers and the blue domes, and the gardens full of flowers. The summer traditional feast that takes place on August 15th is one of the best events on the island with people dancing and singing to traditional folk music until the morning! From that, you can experience the authenticity of Ios! Do not forget to taste the local flavors, the niotic Kefalotyri cheese, thyme honey, the pomegranate drink, and of course do not miss your dips in the sea. Bright blue waters, pebbles, and golden sand from one beach to another, as well as the emerald waters, create a seductive landscape that is worldwide known.
