Whenever I travel to the Greek islands, I always fly in to the Greek capital and enjoy a few hours there before boarding a ferry to the islands. The city has a vibrant street culture with lots of bars shops and markets and the people are very laid back and friendly.
Ios is a small island in the Cyclades. The village, Chora literally translates to village, and is a name shared by dozens of other villages in the Greek islands. Such imagination from the Greeks! It’s sleepy by day and lively by night, especially in high season. The island has several beaches, some of which can only be accessed by boat.

Statue in the city centre, the pigeons obviously don’t approve of it.
Blue and white, the national colours.
Statues in the subway.
Tram.

Love it!
Ancient Athens amphitheatre.
Block from a collapsed pillar.
