“It is an ideal place for families with young children, couples in love, nature lovers and hikers”
“Can we have a little more Io, please?” asks “The Sun” newspaper at the end of the recent travel article that “praises” the Cycladic island of Homer. Fascinated by the youthful aura and positive energy that Ios emits, declares the editor of the extensive tribute that he visited the island last summer at the invitation of the Municipality of Ios.
Despite the nightlife and the beautiful parties, Ios is kept clean, says the journalist in the article, who then records the effort being made for the destination to develop and highlight its other interesting dimensions. Gastronomy, alternative activities, festivals, marine tourism, trails and very interesting historical monuments such as the tomb of Homer and the prehistoric settlement of Skarkos are very worthwhile experiences.
According to “Sun”, Ios is now not just a “magnet” for young people but it is an ideal place for families with young children, couples in love, nature lovers, hikers, off-peak travelers, but also “empty nesters”, parents with children who have now grown up. “Ios means energy. The feeling of renewal that the island generously offers, we seek to preserve and highlight it by developing different aspects, such as special forms of tourism, culture and sports events. The significant increase in traffic in non-peak tourist months such as May, June, September and October confirms that we are on the right track,” said the chairman of the Tourism Committee of the Municipality of Ieton, Antonis Mettos.
Alongside the promotion in international media and in view of the next season, the Municipality of Ieton seeks to inspire the friends of the destination through a new video about what took place at the last Ios Festival, which was interspersed with concerts, visual events, music, dances and exhibitions.
