Visiting IOS ISLAND, CYCLADES, GREECE
PORT
When you get off the ship, see the PEBBLES MOSAICS of Yiannis Loukianos: in the small square with the taverns and on the other side of the port, in front of the boats and cafes. You can also go to Agia Irene church, it's a short walk and the view is worth the walk. (Alternatively you can do all these before your departure)
