The 360° Pictorial Guide of the Cyclades

360° Ios

We had only visited Ios once before, in 2009, although we often saw it from the ferry on our travels. This was long before we developed our panoramic projects...

So we'd never shoot a panorama before our trip in the spring of 2025.

We are therefore delighted to present a virtual stroll of the port of Gyalos and the village of Chora, which will undoubtedly inspire you to discover Ios with your own eyes.

Chora (Ios)

Chora, capital and only village of Ios, offers a triple face: during the day, it's a picturesque Cycladic village while, at night, it is a party place where alcohol flows freely. In-between, at sunset, it's one of the most romantic places in the Cyclades!

Gyalos

The port of Ios, Gyalos (or Ormos), is located below the capital Chora, stepped on its picturesque hill. Right next to the port there is a large sandy beach, equipped, which is one of the most famous of the island.
