We wanted a quiet, private place near the beach and snorkel spots on Ios. We traveled in October to avoid crowds and the beach was quiet and perfect! From the house you hear birds and sometimes goats, it’s very relaxing. Everything about the home is gorgeous! The view is great, it’s very clean, and there’s comfortable seating outside in both sun and shade. You can walk to the beach; there was a taverna for meals but the place has a full kitchen if you want to cook. We hope to stay longer another time; this was a perfect spot for anyone seeking quiet and nature over nightlife!
