Ios

i ended up here by accident with my family when i was about twelve :P not quite my thing then, but i’ve wanted to go back ever since.

Accomodation is cheap on this island, and its a beautiful one at that.
However, hardly any greeks anywhere! Mostly Canadians and Aussies work at the bars, hostels, etc. Some of the bars stay open until sunrise, which was 9am! After a night and morning of drinking we’d take a bus down to far out camping and sit in the sun all day, topless.
The cycle was repeated, and for a while its great until you start realizing youre running low on cash.
If the type of music isnt your ‘thang there is a really great bar called the “Orange Bar” it plays indie stuff and has a great bartender who makes some amazing shots (apple pie, malteasers, cheesecake etc) they are to die for!
If you are looking for some time to let loose this is the place.
Party all night and morning long, lay at the beach and repeat.

I was there about 20 years ago, and there was a lot of partying back then, and it seems it’s still going on. I liked it then but I doubt I would today.

this is your Island. No more to say

There isn’t anything to do on Ios except party at night and sunbathe during the day. I’m not exaggerating. There is literally nothing else to do. The average age is about 20. The bars are all concentrated together, and they compete to have the loudest music. I can understand how that might appeal to some people, but frankly I got bored after a few days. It just wasn’t my cup of tea. Oh, speaking of tea – if you depend on coffee, bring your own. It’s hard to find coffee there, the restaurants only have instant nescafe (if you’re lucky), and nobody makes a decent cup of coffee.

we have a lot of fun, a lot of sun…

Greece is the most amazing country and Ios is the best of the Islands!

cheap places to stay that are amazingly beatiful. The most fun and cheap partying in the greek isles!
