Planning a trip to Ios, Greece? Don’t just pack your swimwear and party shoes—there are a few key items you’ll need to make your time on the island even better. Whether you’re navigating Ios’ lively party scene or soaking up the sun at its beautiful beaches, these essentials will save you time, stress, and energy.
Here’s our list of Ios must-haves:
1. Portable Charger
You’ll be snapping photos, navigating maps, and staying in touch with friends. The last thing you want is a dead phone just when you need it most. A high-capacity portable charger ensures your phone stays charged throughout your beach days and long party nights.
Tip: Bring a fast-charging power bank with at least 10,000mAh capacity.
2. Coins Pouch
Ios operates on a mostly cash-based system, especially for buses, small shops, and late-night snacks. A coins pouch is super handy for keeping your loose change organized.
Why it’s a must:
- Buses are cash-only
- Easier access to change for drinks or small purchases
- Avoid digging through your bag at the worst moment
3. Adapter & Power Board
Greek power outlets might not match what you’re used to. Bring an adapter to keep your devices charged. Even better, pack a power board with multiple outlets and USB ports to charge several devices at once.
Pro Tip: If you’re sharing a room, a power board will make you everyone’s favorite person.
4. Digital Camera
Yes, your phone takes great photos, but nothing beats the vibe of a digital or film camera for capturing Ios’ golden sunsets, beach parties, and breathtaking landscapes.
Why a camera?
- Better low-light performance for night shots
- Authentic, film-like photos without filters
- You’ll create timeless travel memories
5. Portable Fan
Ios summers get HOT. A portable fan will be your lifesaver on the bus, at the beach, or waiting in line at clubs. Trust us—you’ll thank yourself for bringing one.
Best types: USB-charged or battery-powered fans that fit in your bag.
Bonus Tips
- Reusable Water Bottle: Stay hydrated!
- Beach Towel: Quick-dry towels save space and dry fast.
- Sunscreen & Sunglasses: The Greek sun is no joke.
