Bay of Ios

✨ Hidden gem

Órmos Íou sits on the southeastern coast of Ios island, just 200 km from Athens in the South Aegean. This protected bay serves as the main harbor for one of the Cyclades' most vibrant islands, where you'll find the gateway to Ios's famous beaches and legendary nightlife scene. The bay provides easy access to the island's charming Chora (main town) perched on the hillside above, connected by a scenic winding road.
