I stayed at Avra after getting on the wrong ferry and landing in Ios. It was so cute, clean and comfortable for one night with a lovely breakfast and the sweetest host. walking distance to the port so super to get too and right near a bus stop so you can go to the beach.

Rachel United States of America

Such a lovely place to stay in Ios. It's only 5 minutes walking from the port. The owner is such a kind and nice lady! She was very welcoming and made me feel like being at home. The rooms have nice design touches-- the tile pattern in the bathroom, the archway in the entrance of the room, and the artwork in the room. You can really tell they put a lot of attention into each detail to maximise your comfort! Beds are comfortable, walls are quite sound proof and wifi is fast. Great value for the quality, I highly recommend this lovely hotel!

Vasiliy United Kingdom
