Ios - Island of debauchery

After spending a couple days in Santorini with the boys, we all hopped on a ferry to Ios for a night of debauchery. Ios is a smaller island half way between Santorini and Naxos and consists only of beautiful beaches, beach parties, and discos. We arrived early afternoon and went straight to the main beach of Mylopatos where hundreds of young people had already gathered for a beach party straight out of an MTV Spring Break special. There were people around a pool, in the sand, and an amazing DJ pumping out the beats all day.
Once the sun went down, everyone moved to the small village filled with bars and discos. The tiny streets got jammed packed with people as everyone moves from one drinking establishment to the next while everything stays open all night long. Then, when the sun comes up people move back to the beach and it starts all over again. It truly is a 24 hour party and an island filled only with young people. I fully understand why people call Ios 'the Ibiza of Greece'.

Hasta la proximá vez,
Kathlene
