Five guests, one apartment, everything walkable.
The Superior Apartment is the upgrade most groups of five wish they had booked. Where the standard Apartment fits four with comfort, the Superior is built for five — with thoughtfully arranged sleeping areas, a more generous kitchen, a proper dining area for the meals you want to share, and the kind of square-metre count you only really notice on day three of a trip.
It's still a self-catering apartment in the heart of Chora — one minute on foot from the main square, three from the bus to the beaches, two from the best taverna in town. But the extra space is what makes it work for five: room to read in one corner while someone else makes coffee in another, a dining table that fits everyone for breakfast, and enough sleeping flexibility to suit two couples plus one, or a family with older children.
Inside, the design is the same Cycladic simplicity you find across Aphrodite — bright, calm, well finished — with the comfort of air-conditioning, an en-suite bathroom, and a small family running the front desk a few steps away when you need anything.
More room to spread out — without leaving the centre of Chora.
Six things that make a five-person stay actually work— that a hotel room can’t deliver.
Built for five, not stretched for five
Multiple sleeping areas, generous square metres and storage that fits five people's things. You're not unzipping someone's suitcase to walk to the bathroom.
A kitchen you can actually cook in
Cooktop, fridge, sink, plenty of counter space, full set of cookware and crockery for five. Slow Sunday breakfasts, snack lunches, easy dinners after the beach. Cooking together is half the trip.
A real dining area
A table that seats five — for breakfast, late-afternoon coffee, or a long shared dinner. Small detail, big difference for groups.
100 metres from the main square
Chora is the social heart of Ios. Restaurants, the bakery, the grocer, the bus stop — all on foot in two to three minutes. No taxis, no compromises.
Flexible enough for two couples or a family of 5
The arrangement of sleeping areas means it works for two couples plus one extra, three friends plus a couple, or a family with older kids. Tell us your group at booking and we'll set it up to suit.
Quiet enough to sleep, close enough to walk
The Superior sits within the Aphrodite estate — close to the action without being on top of it. Light sleepers can ask us at booking and we'll flag the unit furthest from the bar streets.

Who chooses the Superior Apartment
What guests ask before they book
How many people can stay in the Superior Apartment?
The Superior Apartment sleeps up to five guests across multiple thoughtfully arranged sleeping areas, with a fully furnished kitchen, dining area and en-suite bathroom.
How is the Superior different from the standard Apartment?
The Superior sleeps five rather than four, is meaningfully larger, has a more generous kitchen and a dedicated dining area. If you need a fifth bed, are travelling with two couples plus one, or simply want more space to spread out for a longer stay, the Superior is the upgrade.
Is it set up for two couples?
Yes — the sleeping arrangement is flexible enough for two couples plus one extra guest. Tell us at booking and we'll configure the apartment so each couple has its own private sleeping area.
How well equipped is the kitchen?
Cooktop, fridge, sink, plenty of counter space, full set of cookware and crockery for five, kettle, and a dining area set for the same. Enough for breakfasts, lunches and easy dinners. If you want a full oven and dishwasher, look at The House.
Is it good for families with older kids and grandparents?
Yes. The multiple sleeping areas, the dining table, and the central location mean parents, kids and grandparents can each have their rhythm — coffee in the morning, swimming during the day, dinner together. Cots can be added on request.
Will the Chora nightlife keep us awake?
The Superior is set back from the main bar streets — close enough to walk to everything in three to five minutes, set back enough to sleep. Light sleepers should ask us at booking and we'll flag the quietest unit available.
Is the Superior cheaper than booking two rooms?
Almost always, yes — five guests in one Superior Apartment is more cost-effective than two separate rooms, before you even count what you save by cooking some meals at home. Book direct on aphroditeios.gr for the best rate.
When is the hotel open?
Aphrodite Hotel & Apartments runs its full season from May through October, when every room and apartment is open. A small number of rooms are also available year-round on request — get in touch and we will confirm availability outside the main season.
