Then, we cycle across beautiful inland landscapes to the Tomb of Homer, the legendary resting place of the great poet, surrounded by breathtaking views. Our final stop is Diaseli Cheesery, a family-run farm where we’ll taste fresh, handmade local cheeses and hear stories of Ios’s rural traditions. Throughout the journey, you’ll enjoy quiet paths, expansive views, and the scent of fig trees and wild herbs.

About Ios
Ios is a small Cycladic island with a whitewashed hilltop town, windmills, sandy beaches and a long-standing claim to be the burial place of Homer.
Ios lies in the middle of the Cyclades, south of Naxos and north of Santorini. The port of Ormos sits in a sheltered bay, and above it climbs Chora, a maze of whitewashed lanes, small squares and blue-domed churches, with a line of windmills along the ridge. Skarkos, an excavated settlement from the Early Bronze Age, lies on a hill near Chora.
