Greece City: IOS

The capital of the island is the town of IOS, or Choir, – located just 20 minutes on foot from the port and is one of the most affordable and picturesque cities of the archipelago.

Its snow-white and cream houses, arcades of lanes and carefully renovated chapels look extremely picturesque, they do not even spoil the numerous tattoes and knit shops, they are in abundance, then there, then there. The main road divides the town into two parts – running on the left side of the Old Town and younger residential neighborhoods on the right slope.
