THE Ios is proposed as an ideal destination for 2023 from many popular Scandinavian travel media. Top of Norwegian travel magazine’s recommended list Reiselyst with dreamy island places occupies the Cycladic island of Homer.

“Ios, or Nios as the locals call it, is a charming island of the Cyclades, known to everyone for its lively aura. The lighthouse next to the harbor and the outdoor amphitheater are impressive “Odysseas Elytis”, where many events are held throughout the summer”, reports the magazine. The enchanting coves and heavenly beaches of the island are also glorified by the Swedish magazine aimed at tourism with a higher income profile, First Class Magazine. On the same wavelength is the Danish travel website Travel by Nomas, which encourages travelers to explore the 32 kilometers of impressive coastline of the destination but also to relive scenes from the movie “Aperando Galazio” which was also filmed in Ios. It is noted that the extensive promotion of the destination is part of the initiatives of the EOT Office of Scandinavia after cooperation with the Municipality of Ieton.

“Ios offers unique travel experiences that every visitor feels again. Our call has resonated in many new markets such as Scandinavia, each time highlighting different aspects of the destination such as beaches, gastronomy, hiking, culture, diving and wedding tourism. There is optimism for the development of the tourist season with the interest from abroad and Greece moving at satisfactory levels”, said the Mayor of Ieton Gikas Gikas.
