• 5Amazing tour

  The tour was amazing!! The tour guide was a very genuine, funny, and kind person who was perfect for this tour. He was passionate about teaching history and showing us the way around the village and countryside. As a younger group, we were interested in a more cultural experience on Ios and this was perfect. Thank you so much George!!

• 5Top trekking tour!

  Thanks for a great tour! I thoroughly enjoyed it and George's insights into the island, its history and sharing some personal stories. A trekking tour is a must do if you want to explore a different side to Ios!

• 5Amazing tour, great guide!

  The tour was great! Easily worth the money and time spent. George went above and beyond with the service! The walk was great, we were shown a variety of archaeological, historical and cultural sites that helped you understand Ios more. George introduced us to some locals as well to give a bit more depth to what he was showing us. If you’re thinking of booking this I would 100% recommend it! You’ll go away knowing more about the island and the people of Ios.

• 5George is the best!

  I did Tour no.5 with George and it was everything I wanted. He offered to pick me up in the morning where he made me an espresso and let me try the breadsticks he got from the local bakery. The hike we completed was absolutely amazing, where George spoke about the history, the culture and everything in between. He introduced me to some of the local elders as well as his friends on the way and even got to try some of his homegrown figs (which I got to pick!) He is an amazing and passionate tour guide and person and I thoroughly enjoyed my hike with him!

• 5Fantastic knowledgeable hike of Ios!

  George was very knowledgeable about Ios. We had an amazing hike with him that was fantastic! We are so grateful to him for bringing the history of the Island to life. His dedication to his island is truly inspiring. Don’t miss the chance for a great hike and a beautiful sunset if you have the chance! His stories and gracious hosting were also very enjoyable. Thank you George!

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.
