Ios among world’s 100 most beautiful and authentic islands

·

According to Business Insider’s annual ranking, Ios is among the world’s top 100 “hidden paradises.” This list, based on insights from travel experts and agencies, highlights beautiful islands that retain authenticity across North and South America, Oceania, Europe, Asia, and Africa.

Prothema.gr reports that Ios is described as “a stunning destination with beautiful beaches, unique ambiance, impressive nightlife, and a wide range of activities.” Conde Nast Traveller Spain also praised Chora, Ios’s main village, for “the unforgettable sunset view from Panagia Gremiotissa,” with nearby attractions including the Odysseas Elytis Theater and the Archaeological Museum featuring artifacts from Skarkos.

The Municipality of Ios has launched a campaign to showcase the island’s unique experiences, from gastronomy and culture to outdoor activities, drawing visitors year-round from markets like the UK, Italy, Germany, and the U.S.

In September, the Yannis Gaitis – Gabriella Simosi Museum opened, offering panoramic views of the Aegean from its hilltop location. Designed by Loretta Gaitis and Jacques Charrat, the 1,600-square-meter museum includes a permanent exhibition and space for events. This new cultural hub is expected to boost tourism beyond the peak season, noted Antonis Mettos, President of the Tourism Committee for Ios.
