Despite its vibrant nightlife and lively parties, Ios maintains its cleanliness, notes the journalist, who further delves into the efforts to develop and showcase the destination’s diverse attractions.
From its culinary delights to alternative activities, festivals, maritime adventures, hiking trails, and intriguing historical sites like the tomb of Homer and the prehistoric settlement of Skarkos, Ios offers a wealth of experiences.
