TRAVEL TIPS
The new face of Ios
The fascinating island of
Ios, AKA the “kingdom of eternal youth” with young tourists arriving from all around the globe for the island’s vibrant nightlife and endless, golden sand beaches, such as Mylopotas, seems to be living its own “spring”, with quality proposals that change its profile. Now it is an attraction not only for young people but also for people looking for quality holidays in style and luxury, as it seems that the hotel scene of the island is upgraded in terms of quality and aesthetics. The “Agalia Luxury Suites”, now a member of Small Luxury Hotels, in the area of Tzamaria, is a unique option, as it features suites that are a blend of pop style and design, and so are the restaurant “Taste of Joy”, and its sister bar-restaurant “Pathos”, which is perched on a cliff in Koubara, with fantastic views of the sunset and
Sikinos in the background. Here, the new suites of the legendary “Far Out”, at “the Far Out Hotel & Spa”, are the highlight: in perfect harmony with the
Cycladic environment, they create a super luxurious oasis with private infinity swimming pools and impeccable service. Moreover, the Camping of the “Far Out” itself is upgraded with new rooms of high quality and top-of-the-line design, offering spectacular views over the bay of Mylopotas. Also, the five- star Liostasi, while maintaining the line of elegant luxury, creates suites of unique aesthetics and minimal design that afford magnificent views. Last but not least, the Relux Ios Hotel, a four-star boutique hotel in the marina of Ios, is a serene oasis of beauty, with suites and rooms of high aesthetics, and from 2015 it offers an option for affordable luxury holidays.
