There is something quite special about Ios. This little Greek island makes you feel like you’re having the time of your life among friends you don’t even know yet. With amazing food and a epic bar street, if you’re looking to have some nights you may not remember, Ios should be the spot.

Everyone is easy going and even though people come from all walks of life, everyone gets along seamlessly. During my trip there I went cliff jumping with Canadians, ate dinner with Italians, and drank beers with Australians. This mix of cultures makes for some unbelievable nights.

Your day will probably start late, as most people party late into the night regardless of which day of the week it is. When you get up, I suggest grabbing a crepe and start heading towards the beach in front of Far Out Beach Club. This spot offers plenty of water sports and is close to the cliff jumping spot if you dare jump!

If you’re looking to party in Ios, below are three must visit clubs:

Far Out Beach Club

This is by far the most well known spot on the Island and serves as a hostel, resort, and club. The hostel accommodates travelers from around the world where they have their own oasis of sorts. With multiple pools and a bumping DJ, this is a place you need to check out.

To get here from the main Chora area, simply take the bus. It is about a ten minute ride and there is a stop that drops you off right in front of the beach club. The bus costs 1.80 euros, regardless of which stop you get on or off at.

When I was at the Far Out Beach Club they were hosting their famous wet t-shirt contest. This event is a must attend when traveling Ios. Be ready to see some nudity though, as in the final round the girls go all out.

Free Beach Bar & Restaurant

Right down the beach from Far Out sits the Free Beach Bar & Restaurant. The design and architecture of this spot really attracted me, as it is vibrant and dynamic. Their comfortable lounge chairs make for an amazing day by the beach. With a bar situated right on the beach, there is no reason not to have a drink in your hand.

I enjoyed my time at the Free Beach Bar & Restaurant with a smooth strawberry daiquiri and some delicious food. I would highly recommend their salads, as the vegetables were fresh and well prepared.

Lost Boys Bar

You won’t go an hour on the Island without seeing someone wearing a Lost Boys tank top. This bar has done an incredible job with their marketing and offers a free shirt if you order a certain number of drinks. Their Instagram page is awesome and highlights some of the best spots to explore on the island.

This bar is where most people start their night and they offer drinking games like beer pong. The bar gets quite rowdy at night so if you’re headed this way, be prepared to do your fair share of drinking!

Now it’s time to start planning your trip to the island of Ios! With plenty of beaches, bars, restaurants, and clubs to hit up, what are you waiting for?
