The house is really clean and comfortable and at the right location - surrounded by beautiful fields, and a short walk will take you to Yialos beach which is a great beach really although there are many other more beautiful beaches on the island. Also within walking distance is Ios harbour which is full of very good and cheap restaurants / coffee shops / bars. The bus terminus is just round the corner to the harbour and while you are waiting for the bus, pay a visit to the bakery whose food is so delicious, coffee so good and so cheap. Try the ice-cream from the place next door to the bakery. From the bus terminus you may take buses to the Chora (city centre), Manganari Beach, Mylopotas Beach, Koumpara Beach and Pathos (to watch the sunset in style). Next to Galini's place there is also a car/ATV/bike rental service, souvenir shop, mini-market, etc. I highly recommend Galini's place.
