3Ios

Ios is famous for its party scene, but it also has a quieter side with gorgeous beaches and picturesque villages. If you visit in the off-season or stick to the island’s more laid-back spots, you can enjoy Ios on a budget.

Dorm-style hostels and camping are popular options for budget travelers, while the island’s beaches, like Mylopotas and Agia Theodoti, are free to explore.

Budget Tip: Visit outside of peak season to find accommodation at a fraction of the cost, and take advantage of Ios’ many hiking trails for a free activity.
