Why You Should Take a Flight to Ios
Ios is a Greek island that offers so much more than its reputation for fun-filled summer party breaks. Dig a little deeper and you’ll discover winding footpaths through traditional hilltop towns, dramatic views and picturesque honey farms. But, if you are in the mood for some hedonistic fun, hit the bars and clubs for some wild nightlife.
When to Book Flights to Ios
The weather in Ios is at its best between May and October, coinciding with the high tourism season. July and August are peak months for visitors but you can still find quiet and secluded beaches if that’s what you’re after. Alternatively, visit towards the end of the season in late September for a more laidback break.
