Gialos Beach

Gialos beach, also called Yialos, is located near the picturesque port of Ormos on the island of Ios, it is a small settlement with an important tourist development. Despite its fame, in comparison to Mylopotas beach, Gialos beach is much less frequented and quieter. This fine golden sand beach is surrounded by green cliffs dotted with white houses and is bathed by a splendid clear and transparent sea.

The church of Agia Irini

In addition to a nice seaside stay, the Gialos beach also offers a small treasure to discover and that we recommend you visit: the beautiful church of Agia Irini, located right on the highest point of the port of Ormos. With its blinding white and splendid sea views, this church makes anyone who admires it fall in love. Get there with a nice walk and you will see that you will not regret it. However, we recommend that you take the water with you and dress comfortably as the path is a bit tortuous, but above all avoid reaching it in the hottest hours if you can, otherwise cover your head well and equip yourself with even more water. If you are a lover and expert of trekking this route you cannot absolutely miss it!
