What Happens in Ios, Stays in Ios

With that being said, I guess this is going to be a very sparse post, eh?

Mylopotas Beach, Ios

What I can say, though, is that in Ios, we scored our BEST. DIGS. EVER:

Out of all the hostels we checked into, Far Out Beach Club had the best value for price (think rock-bottom rates, then lower it some more). An inviting pool, good food, fun bartenders, all merely 5 steps away Mylopotas Beach. Sheer heaven.

And in Ios, you can indulge yourself in a lot of beach sports:

Fancy some kitesurfing?

Or how about synchronized underwater cam-whoring?

With whom you can finish off all of the 50 delectable flavored shots in Ios’ Orange Bar:

With flavors like Baclava, Mint Aero, Cobain’s Brain and Shot the Fuck Up, the Orange Bar in Ios will keep you coming back for more.

There’s a reason why Ios is known as the party island of the Cyclades. Crystalline water + hot bods + dark romantic beach spots, all with a large helping of cheap booze from the throng of 40+ adjoined bars and clubs in the village of Hora. Yup, basically for three days, we surrendered everything to the goddess of mindless revelry. Not surprisingly, you won’t find a lot of pictures here from the bar-hopping. It’s not that I’m keeping them from you; we really just didn’t get to take a lot from all the dancing, yelling and merrymaking! I guess you’ll have to use your imagination. 😉
