Ios island

Another yachting destination is Ios, an island in the Cyclades group in the Aegean Sea. Here, the popular Milopotas Beach in the island of Ios. Ios is a hilly island with cliffs down to the sea on most sides, situated halfway between Naxos and Santorini.The Port of Ios is at the head of the Ormos harbor in the northwest. This is a white and very picturesque cycladic village, full of stairs and narrow walks, that makes it inaccessible for cars of any kind. Apart from the port and the village of Chora, Ios has only a few small settlements, just a group of spread out houses in the background of major beaches (Theodoti, Kalamos, Manganari).

Sunbathe on the deck of M/S DOXA II at the north end of Ios with a view to a ruined Venetian castle from the 15th century. The island is said to have 365 churches and chapels, like the days of the year.
