Ios island is known and appreciated for its beautiful beaches boasting crystal clear waters, for its remarkably traditional products and for the fact that it can satisfy a wide spectrum of the needs of its visitors. 

Known as the island of contrasts, Ios offers peace of mind and tranquility on one hand and a rich nightlife on the other! The best accommodation selection on the island is, without the merest doubt, Ios Palace Hotel & Spa. We meet with the Hotel Manager, Ms Konstantina Toli, and she admits -among other things- that her main goal is to present guests with a unique experience during their stay. Ms. Toli is not actually from Ios island! She went there in 2007 for the first time to work for Ios Palace and she instantly fell in love with the island! Via our talk with her, we discovered what made her love the island so much and she also gave us insider's tips for maximum joy during our next visit to Ios island:

Three reasons to visit Ios island.

For its natural beauty and its crystal clear waters. Above all, for its energies…which will calm you and relax you.

Which is your favorite spot on the island?

Panayia Gremiotissa offers panoramic views of Ios and breathtaking views of the neighboring islands of Santorini, Sikinos and Naxos. Also the sunset at Koubara beach and the golden sanded beach of Mylopotas.

A must-try dish of the local cuisine?

I would suggest visitors to taste as many of the island’s cheeses and dairy products.

Describe a must-live experience on the island

Rent a boat and visit as many beaches as possible.

Why should a guest choose to stay at Ios Palace Hotel & Spa?

For the outstanding facilities of the hotel and its privileged location above the famous and stunning beach of Mylopotas. All hotel rooms offer incredible views to the bay and our staff comprise the most hospitable team ever! Our priority is to fill the hearts and minds of our guests with beautiful images and glorious sentiments.

Anything new and fresh for the new summer season?!

We renovated the pool bar "Margarita" and we created a BBQ point where the guests have the opportunity to enjoy the chef’s specialties at lunch time, in conjunction with the cocktails of the Pool Bar.

What is the signature cocktail of the pool bar?

It's a refreshing, Greek cocktail that we named “Grandma's garden” and it is based on mastic.

Which treatment do you recommend your guests should try at the hotel's Spa?

The lymphatic drainage massage which is a healing treatment.

Any famous visitors that have stayed at the hotel and you could tell us their names?!

We host several celebrities every summer but I really cannot share this information with you! This is the actual reason why they select Ios island. To have a quiet vacation in privacy.
