Santorini to Ios: How to get there & Should you Stay in Santorini

When I was in my 20s Ios was known as the party capital of the Greek Islands. The island still attracts a young crowd in the summer.

Here is my guide which will hopefully make getting from Santorini to Ios easier for you!

 If you’re coming from outside the Greek islands the nearest airport to Ios is Santorini. Santorini has a fantastic new airport that has loads of room and places to eat, nice souvenirs etc.

 It is recommended that you get to arrive at Santorini Ferry Port one hour before your ferry and I would very much agree. The port is chaos. People and cars everywhere and there are many of them.

Upon arrival at the Ios Island Ferry port, things are much easier. This is a much smaller ferry port and very easy to navigate. Also, there are quite a few local hoteliers etc all lined up to meet the ferries.
