Bare mountain island with striking and particularly beautiful Chora in the village of Ios as well as several churches and chapels in the typical architectural style. Lively place with good ferry connections and shopping facilities for sailors.

Navigation

The access to the spacious bay is uncomplicated and without pitfalls. Once you have passed the pretty church "Panagia Anastasia" on starboard, the place with its two mooring possibilities becomes clearly visible. Either you turn immediately to starboard and moor at the jetty, or you sail directly into the harbour basin in front of the town scenery. Local fishermen usually occupy the south side of this harbour basin,  while the east and north sides are used by yachts.

Berths

We had moored backwards at the jetty on the south side in front of the harbour basin under anchor use, just like other sailing yachts before us. Water and electrical connections are available. One lies there somewhat removed from the city noise, even if only little.

In the city harbour basin mooring lines are spread, a yellow buoy on the north side marks the position of the mooring chain for the berths on the east side.  There were larger yachts and also long-term berth holders,  which suggests that there are at least 2.5 m water depth, if not more. All berths are exposed to the quite strong swell of the incoming and outgoing ferries.  Adjust line guidance and fenders accordingly. 

Surroundings

Drinking water available at the jetty,  in the town harbour supposedly water tankers. Diesel is also supplied by tankers, a gas station is located in the village. Repair capacities seem limited to me, food markets at the harbour and in the town. Numerous restaurants and tavernas around the port and in the village, especially in the Chora.

Wir waren dort in der Vorsaison und haben uns ausgesprochen wohl gefühlt. Die Chora mit ihren verwinkelten Gassen und Stiegen ist sehenswert, ebenso wie die drei Kapellen oben auf der Bergspitze.
