Local knowledge for Ios

Where to stay

Most budget beds are at Mylopotas Beach, the long sandy stretch about 3km from Hora, which puts you a short walk from Far Out Beach Club and the main backpacker scene. Hora itself, the hilltop village, has cheaper guesthouses tucked behind the main bar alley if you want to be in the middle of the nightlife without paying beach-view prices.

Getting around

  • The public bus linking Ormos (the port), Hora, and Mylopotas runs frequently and costs a small fare each way. There is no reason to take a taxi.
  • Buy water, wine, and snacks at the supermarket near Hora's main square before heading to Mylopotas. Beach bar markups are steep and add up fast over a few days.
  • Book Mylopotas hostels at least three to four weeks out for July and August. Walk-ins on busy weekends routinely get turned away.

When to go

May and late September have the lowest rates and manageable crowds. July and August push prices up sharply and beds at the popular Mylopotas spots fill weeks in advance.
