However, the capital is a very beautiful town. Here are some attractions listed below.
Ios (Chora)
The beautiful white capital is located a bit high above the sea, just above the large and beautiful port bay. Like most Cycladic villages, it consists of white houses separated by narrow streets, stairways, arches, and is adorned with some windmills. However, there are also boutiques and nightclubs. In the evening, Chora becomes very lively, full of loud music and people strolling and staying out late.
Aghia Ekaterini
Byzantine church in the capital.
Psathi
White village located high above the sea, with many churches, chapels, and the ruins of a temple.
Homer's Tomb

Religious Festival
Held on August 29th at the Kalamos Monastery in honor of Aghios Ioannis Prodromos.
