Ios
If you are looking for a party, you can't avoid the island of Ios. It is considered the true center of nightlife in the Cyclades and is therefore especially popular with young people. However, if you are an early riser and like to have the beach to yourself, you will probably also find your happiness here - because due to the party nights, it usually only gets a bit livelier on the beaches in the afternoon. Worth seeing are especially the monastery Agia Ioannis and the regional wine growing.
