A home above the rooftops

Sunsets & Windmills

Ios is home to some of the most celebrated sunsets in the Cyclades. Walk three minutes from Aphrodite to reach the famous windmills and hilltop churches — a golden hour ritual that never loses its magic.

Beaches for Every Mood

Beaches for Every Mood

From the lively sands of Mylopotas to the serene coves of Koumbaras and Manganari, Ios has a beach for every state of mind. Most are a short bus ride from Chora — and all are worth it.

Food, Coffee & Village Life

Food, Coffee & Village Life

Linger over a frappe at a rooftop café, share mezedes at a family taverna, or follow the scent of fresh bread through the morning lanes. The flavours and rhythms of Chora are part of every stay at Aphrodite.

Frequently asked

Common questions, answered

When is Aphrodite Hotel & Apartments open?

Aphrodite Hotel & Apartments runs its full season from May through October, when every room and apartment is open. A limited number of rooms are also available year-round on request — get in touch and we will confirm availability outside the main season.

Where is the hotel located on Ios?

We sit in the heart of Chora, the main village of Ios Island, 100 metres from the main square and a short walk from the restaurants, bars and the bus stop for the beaches. The port of Ios is about 2 km away — a short bus or taxi ride up to Chora.

What types of accommodation do you offer?

Standard Rooms (Double, Triple or Quadruple, sleeping 2 to 4), self-catering Apartments (up to 4 or 5 guests with a kitchenette), and The House — our private apartment for groups of 6 with a full kitchen. Choose by group size and whether you want cooking facilities.

How do I get to Ios from Athens or Santorini?

Most guests fly into Athens and take the ferry direct (6–8 hours), or fly into Santorini and take the short 35–60 minute ferry crossing to Ios. From the port of Ios, we are 2 km up to Chora — reachable by local bus, taxi, or a transfer we can arrange.
