Gialos Port & Beach
Γιαλός
Ios's harbour village, where ferries dock, with a long sandy beach alongside and a blue-domed Agia Irini church.
Gialos is Ios's port, where ferries from Piraeus, Santorini, Naxos and other islands call. By the harbour stand a blue-domed Agia Irini church and a bust of Homer. To the north stretches a long sandy beach with calm, shallow water, ideal for families or for a swim on arrival or departure day. Hotels, restaurants and car rental agencies cluster around the port, which is also the starting point for buses to Chora and Milopotas.
