| - Beach Hotels In Ios, Greece - |
Ios is a relatively small Greek island lying southeast of the country’s mainland and part of the Aegean archipelago. This group of islands is called the Cyclades, which roughly translates "the islands around", referring to the circle they form around Delos, one of the most important archaeological sights in Greece. The main town of Ios is called Chora, a small picturesque village built on a hill with romantic narrow streets, which basically prevent the use of cars. Chora is where the island’s tourism industry is concentrated, offering many restaurants, shops and night clubs, as well as hotels in surroundings. The beaches of Ios are among the most popular in Greece, the three major ones being Theodoti, Kalamos, and Maganari.
One of the most luxurious hotels on Ios is the Ios Palace Hotel. The residence is built right on the sands of the most popular beach on the island - Mylopotas Beach, which is at only 1 mile (about 1.5 kilometers) distance from Chora. Several beautifully decorated types of rooms are offered, according to the individual needs of guests. The available services and facilities are countless and at a five star level, though the hotel has been awarded four stars. Among them are three saltwater swimming pools, a brand new spa center, several bars, restaurants and buffets, beauty salon, fitness center and business facilities. Guests of the holiday retreat may benefit from the water sport activities that are being organized such as scuba diving. Travelers that cannot part with their pets should rest assured that the hotel has a pet-friendly policy and guests are welcome to bring along their furry companions.
