Ios, one of Greece's most beautiful islands, rises from the Aegean's endless blue sea. A small island noted for its expansive sand beaches, pristine waters, and picturesque coves, it lies between Santorini, Paros, Naxos, and Sikinos.
The island has a total shoreline of 86 kilometers, of which 32 kilometers are sand beaches.
Ios covers an area of 108 square kilometers, and is 17 kilometers long and 7.5 kilometers wide at its most distant points. It's 108 nautical miles from Piraeus - an eight-hour sea journey by ferry from Piraeus and about four hours by high-speed boat from Rafina.
In summer, there are frequent sailings to and from Piraeus; in summer, the island is served by 20 arrivals and departures daily, while in winter there are two daily sailings. Ios also offers ferry and high-speed sea connections to Paros, Naxos, Santorini, Mykonos, Sikinos, and Folegandros.
