Between the port and Chora, Villa Zografos enjoys a hillside position overlooking the Aegean Sea and the surrounding islands. This accommodation provides spacious and well-decorated with private balconies where you’ll enjoy having breakfast or aperitifs. As a guest, you’ll find a communal flower garden in the property with a little patio where you can relax.
Ios (also Nios) is an island of 108 square kilometres with a population of 2000. Its name may derive from 'ion' (flower), as the island was a practical flower garden in ancient times. Traditional Cycladic architecture with narrow streets and small squares will delight visitors, where the ancient city of Ios once stood.
Walking up the hill on the east of Hora reveals more of Ios’ many attractions and stunning views, including the old white windmills and the modern Open Theatre Odysseas Elytis – a masterpiece of architecture made of stone and marble named after a famous Greek poet. The Perivolia region features forests, flora and plenty of water, unusual for the Cyclades. In the works is a Botanical Garden in Mylopotas with a wide array of Mediterranean plants. Behind the scenes also lie many dairy farms with traditional cheese-making, beekeeping and local fishing activity, where most locals are more than happy to involve visitors in their trade and traditions.
