Aphrodite: Last Night Of The Skippers Recommendations
johngayton Says: Yep, here again the local knowledge came in trumps! This was a great little restaurant, slightly off the main drag and with a menu within a menu. Advertising itself as a "Steak House" the menu makes no mention of the hidden delights tucked away in the fridge under the...

The Mills: Good local taverna in surprisingly quiet location
nickersg Says: Traditional family run taverna which stands out from most of the eating establishments in Ios village offering good local staples. Especially recommended are the grilled meats. The friendly owner will join you for a complimentary rako melo (a local drink made from raki,...
Burger restaurant: The biggest burger I've seen
OH_DK Says: If you're hungry this is a good place to go because you get so much food.We were a little group that just came back from a road trip, and wanted to have some good food not too far from our boat. Here the food was good, and you really got a lot! A lot of us tried The...
Orange Bar: Cool music and irrestistable shots!
nickersg Says: Cosy little bar about 100m from main square, playing a wonderfully eclectic mix of rock music. Ask for just about anything and they'll probably have it. The range of chocolate shots is dangerously good!! You must try the Malteaser or the Turkish Delight or the After Eight,...
The Sweet Irish Dream: Irish Bar
snorril Says: Ios is famous for it´s nighlife and although it was obviously not in full swing in early June we found this great Irish Bar. We went there to watch some football and when we arrived the bar was packed with Irish people. And boy do they know how to entertain themselves. The...

ealgisi Says: I found Greek people very friendly.If you go eat in a Taverna (a local restaurant), and someone invites you to see the kitchen ad shows you the food before cooking it, don't say no, go and have a look around in the kitchen.They are proud to show you the kitchen, i think is a...

A Chance For Some Male-Bonding!
johngayton Says: The main harbour here on Ios doesn't allow visiting yachts to use their anchors but instead provides chain moorings to which the yachts can be affixed. This however does take a bit of brute stregnth as the chains have to be hoisted from the sea bottom and a line from the...
ealgisi Says: Greek people will really appreciate if you try to speak a few words in Greek while talking to them, you will see their faces smiling, for this reason below you will find few of the main words you "have" to know when traveling in Greece:Salad = SalataPotatoes = PatatesWine =...
