Linda has been such an amazing host during our 4 day visit to Ios. She has been very kind and offered to pick us up from the port when we arrived, and took us back to the port on the date of our departure. Her restaurant recommendations and other pieces of advice were also extremely useful. As for the loft, it’s as every bit as quaint and cute as the pictures show. It has all the necessary essentials needed for day-to-day preparations (including a washing machine, stove, microwave, oven and other kitchen utensils). It is a bit far away from the main village of Chora but that’s what made it so peaceful and relaxing. It is a 10-15 minute walk (more or less depending on walking speed) from the port to the loft, though the road is quite rocky and steep. We were still able to walk into town and to the port without any trouble when we needed to. Near the loft there is a small yet quiet beach called Valmas, which was our absolute favourite because it almost felt private due to the lack of tourists there. Overall, my mum and I had a wonderful stay at Linda’s, and would 100% recommend it for those who visit Ios!
