First of all, this is the cleanest hotel we have ever been to. Rooms are spotless. The location is right on the beach that is sandy and clean, where hotel guests have a set of sunbeds included with the stay. The owners are a lovely family where you don't feel only like a guest, but like a friend. :) There is also a bar that offers breakfast, snacks and drinks, from which we loved the club sandwich and the mix omlette. Ios is a fantastic island and I'm sure that we found a place to be for the upcoming years to come!

The hotel is in a great location, just a 5-minute walk from the port. The rooms are very comfortable. We informed them of our arrival time and the check-in was ready when we got there. Lea, the receptionist, is friendly and efficient. When we had to leave early, before breakfast hours, she (Lea) prepared a takeaway breakfast for us. We were really impressed with the hotel staff. They provide beach sunbeds and umbrellas for guests at Yialos Beach. For dinner, they have an excellent Italian restaurant — don’t miss the pizza! I highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again.

I loved staying at Homer's Inn! It's a family owned hotel, and it has all the facilities you need on a stay in Ios. The staff was super nice. They arranged pickup and dropoff at the port, gave us a welcome drink at our first time by the pool, and they always smiled and greeted you. The pool was super nice to have after a couple of hours at the beach. We always spent the last hours in the evening by the pool, and it was very relaxing and nice. Family friendly! The breakfast was small but very nice, and with a very nice view. Clean room with fresh towels everyday.

The location of the property was amazing, very close to the center of nightlife and next to a bus to get to the beaches. If you don’t mind walking it’s also a very nice walk to the beach. However the best part of the property by far were the staff. George and his wife and sons were amazing company to have, and they were very nice with good vibes and super friendly. The food there was also cheap and very tasty, which was a big plus.

The island is the preferred destination for 1st year...

The island is the preferred destination for 1st year students, mainly from Ireland, from what we could tell. Not really our croud. It was a bit cheaper here for drinks and food than it was on Santorini or Mykonos, but I probably won't go back. There is not much to do on the island, and the wind was next level. We were supposed to stay here for 2 nights initially, but I am happy that we reduced it to 1 night. We visited a goat cheese farm, which was nice, but after that, we did not want to do anything in the wind, plus, there was not much else to do. The old town was very pretty, with cobble streets and little shops, but not as lively as Mykonos or Santorini at night. It felt like a Sunday. Lovely little island.

We really liked Ios, a great place to stay.

We really liked Ios, a great place to stay. At night it was peaceful and quiet but lively during the day and evening. We went into Chora most nights and that was wonderful, lots of bars and restaurants. Also a great bakery on the main road a must if you visit. Our hotel was Brothers Hotel, a lovely place to stay with very welcoming hosts, spotlessly clean rooms and very helpful. Thank you

I liked that it is not an over-built, over-commercialized island like its famous neighbour Santorini. We rented a car one day and saw Homer‘s supposed resting place and a Byzantine castle, a wonderful goat farm with tours and great choices of cheeses run by very eloquent and multilingual owners, a large number of bigger and smaller beaches on all sides of Ios and even ran into a goat herd and visited one of several monasteries. Ios town is cute and very walkable with a lively vibe and we witnessed a folklore dance performance by various groups of dancers from other islands, adults and children, on the main square. 3-4 full days might be the right length, but we had 5 and used one for a day trip to Santorini. I prefer Ios despite the other islands‘ amazing promenades and oozing luxury feel.

I recently visited Ios and had a mixed experience.

I recently visited Ios and had a mixed experience. Here are my thoughts: Scenic Views: Ios is pretty, but not as picturesque as I had hoped. Some areas are nice, but it doesn't quite match up to other Greek islands. Cost: The island is quite pricey for what it offers. I felt like I was paying more than what I got in return. Nightlife: There are lots of young tourists, and the nightlife is very active. However, this means there are a lot of drunk people around, which can be a bit much. Food: The food is tasty, but the portions are smaller than expected, especially for the price. Beaches: The beaches are nice and a definite highlight. I enjoyed the clear water and the sandy shores. Parking: Finding a parking space was surprisingly easy, which made getting around a lot less stressful. Overall, Ios has its ups and downs. If you love beaches and don't mind the party scene, it could be worth a visit. But if you're looking for stunning scenery and good value for money, you might want to consider other options.

Ios Chora is the main town on the island of Ios.

Ios Chora is the main town on the island of Ios. It's full of friendly local people, and a mix of expats who have made their homes there, or who visit year after year because of the island's ambience. My stay was over the Easter period, which in itself is a marvelous opportunity to observe or partake in the ages-old traditions of the Greek Orthodox religion. Later in the year, as the temperatures heat up, the town welcomes a much younger crowd, as bars and nightclubs open up to transform Ios into "party island"!

The hotel was OK, in line with our expectation. The price was OK. The welcome was really friendly from the host of the hotel and he was really service oriented throughout our visit, recommended places to go, restaurants, etc. The location is really nice, close to the water, great view over the mountain
