How to get to Ios

The small Ios island also called Io or Nio is found between Naxos and Santorini in the archipelago of the Cyclades islands.

With a double face, Ios is perfect both for families and travelers who want a beautiful sea, culture, sport and relaxation on splendid beaches for their holiday in Greece, but it is also ideal for young people looking for a non-stop nightlife with a a little more sophisticated unlike, for example, the beautiful Mykonos which is much more transgressive and brazen.

Home of the poet Homer as evidenced by his tomb on the Psathopirgo hill above the Plakoto bay a fertile area of vineyards and olive groves, the island of Ios offers splendid panoramas from its heights, many churches of various eras to visit, lost villages over time and sunsets especially from the capital Chora to melt even the coldest heart.

Its coasts are of golden sand bathed by clean and crystalline waters with a thousand shades of blue where parties are organized that last all night under an enchanting starry sky and a moon accomplice of many new adventures in your holiday in Ios.

There is no airport on the island of Ios and we think it will never be built at least this is what many hope, therefore the only way to reach it is by sea.

First of all you will have to find a flight that will take you either to Santorini, or to Mykonos or to Athens. That’s why there’s no problem, during the summer there are many proposals to reach these destinations and sometimes, if in time, you can even find very cheap prices. The only problem could be that the flight times do not coincide with the ferry times and in this case we will have to do one night and in the worst case scenario two where we land.

Let’s see in detail the route island by island:

From Santorini: the journey time varies from 1 hour to 45 minutes always depends on what type of boat you will be able to find based on the timetables.

From Mykonos: the journey time is about two hours, also in this case the times can be shortened according to the type of boat that can be found with the arrival and departure times.

From Athens: here you can choose whether to depart from the Port of Piraeus or from the Port of Rafina and the rule of organizing everything well based on the times of your outbound and return flights always applies. Journey time from 4 to 9 hours.

We also say that during the summer season Ios can also be reached from the following islands: Paros, Iraklio, Naxos, Anafi, Sifnos, Sikinos, Folegandros, Milos, Kymolos, Kythnos, Serifos, Syra, Thirasia, Rafina, Tinos, Kea, Lavrio and Koufonisi.
