Ios isn’t just another Greek island—it’s a summer paradise where knowing a few local tips can make or break your trip. Whether you’re a first-timer or a returning traveler, these essential hacks will help you navigate Ios like a pro.
1. Bring Your Aussie Vapes
If you’re coming from Australia and prefer your usual vapes, bring them with you. Availability in Ios is limited, and prices can be high. Avoid the hassle—stock up before you fly.
2. Don’t Flush the Toilet Paper
Greek plumbing isn’t designed for flushed toilet paper. Every bathroom has a bin for disposal. Follow this rule unless you want to deal with clogged pipes or an angry hotel owner.
3. Don’t Walk the Donkey Trail with Luggage
The donkey trail between the port and the main town may seem like a shortcut, but with luggage, it’s a nightmare. The path is steep, uneven, and exhausting, especially in the heat. Take the bus or a taxi—your back will thank you.
4. Bring a Portable Fan
Ios gets hot, especially in peak summer. Many accommodations have basic air conditioning, but a portable fan is a game-changer—perfect for hostel dorms, ferry rides, and late-night beach chilling.
5. Join the Life Is a Beach Party Bar Crawl
Ios is famous for its nightlife, and no trip is complete without a proper bar crawl. The Life Is a Beach Party Bar Crawl takes you to the best bars and clubs, skipping long lines and scoring drink deals along the way. If you want to meet new people and experience Ios’ party scene the right way, this is the way to do it.
Final Tips for an Epic Ios Trip
- Carry cash – Many businesses or venues are cash-only.
- Stay hydrated – The heat + alcohol combo is real.
- Book Katogi in advance – This restaurant is legendary and fills up fast.
- Get an ATV – The best way to explore Ios beyond the main town.
Follow these tips, and you’ll thrive in Ios without the usual rookie mistakes.
