Travel by ferry to Ios, an island in Greece’s Cyclades, and let the approach by sea set the mood for days among whitewashed lanes and sandy bays. The island’s harbour sits on the western coast below Chora, the hilltop capital, making this your starting point for exploring the island. Stay around the harbour for a waterfront setting, head uphill for Chora’s winding streets, or look towards Mylopotas, just south of the capital, for a beach-focused holiday. Enter your travel dates to find a ferry crossing that suits your trip.

Ferry Travel to Ios
Travellers reach Ios, an island in the Cyclades in Greece, by sea, arriving at its harbour at Gialos on the western coast. The island has no airport, so the ferry journey is an essential part of getting there rather than an alternative to a direct flight. Gialos suits travellers who want to stay close to the harbour and its beach, while Chora, the main village, stands uphill from the waterfront. For accommodation in Chora, allow for the climb rather than judging the journey by distance alone. Mylopotas lies beyond Chora, while Manganari is on the island’s southern coast; both require an onward journey from the same arrival point, not a different ferry port.
Ios sits south of Naxos and north of Santorini, making it a useful geographical fit for a wider journey through the Cyclades. Pairing it with Santorini brings together a beach-focused stay and the neighbouring island’s volcanic landscape, while Naxos adds a larger island with inland villages and more ground to explore. Adding both broadens the trip, but each extra island means another transfer and less uninterrupted time in one place, so a shorter holiday may benefit from just one companion destination. Before booking your ferries, decide how many nights you want on each island and leave enough time to enjoy them between travel days.
