Tour Details

This tour starts from the village, Chora, with a visit to the Windmills, 12 in total with 3 of them completely renovated. They will remind you of former days, when the islanders used the power of the wind.

We continue our stroll of Chora of Ios and its small and narrow alleys where you can take fantastic photographs of the traditional streets and houses.

Next stop is the church of Panagia Gremiotissa which is located at the highest point of Ios Town, Chora, and as built in 1797 AD. The church owes its name to its rocky location and you can enjoy panoramic views.
