“Greece is the only place in the world, which, along with the excellent historical and cultural heritage, has wonderful beaches and a blue sea, ‘framed’ by Greek architecture with white houses and blue windows”, he says at the beginning of the eulogy dedicated to Greenme.it, Italy’s specialized travel website with millions of friends of nature and sustainability. .

Among the hundreds of Greek islands, the popular website singles out the ten best beaches based on criteria of natural beauty, rarity and the response of the traveling public. According to this summer survey, Ios emerges as a “champion” with Magganari beach, which is ideal for water sports, entertainment or isolation and is interspersed with a series of small coves that form a unique photogenic landscape. At the same time, the British Times considers the enchanting island of the Cyclades as one of the ten ideal places in Greece for couples in the new list they published.

For the Times, the charming Chora of Ios lends itself to romantic strolls in alleyways and visits to hilltop churches overlooking the Aegean sunset. “Our narrative expands without, however, ignoring the enchanting nature of the island and the exotic beaches. The sense of isolation in many locations, the Ios Festival, the other cultural events, the gastronomy and the suitability for off-season weddings are elements that attract romantic tourism and honeymooners. Ios wins every year more and more the bet to extend the season with the couples making a significant contribution to it”, comments the president of the Tourism Committee of the Municipality of Ieton, Antonis Mettos.
