Nel cuore delle isole greche …
In the heart of greek islands…
Ios è la perla delle isole greche, nascosta e intima, romantica nella sua incredibile bellezza di cui abbiamo potuto godere appieno nella nostra settimana di permanenza.
Il suo nome significa Fiore e secondo un’antica tradizione è stata la terra natia della madre di Omero e la tomba del grande poeta epico.
Il centro dell’isola è un intrico di stradine, casette e vie totalmente bianche adornate da dettagli colorati, che riflettono la luce del sole… è un piacere aggirarsi e scoprirle pian piano, fermandosi in qualche locale o nei tantissimi negozietti.
Ios is the pearl of greek islands, hidden and private, romantic in his great beauty. We really enjoied it during the week of our stay.
His name means like Flower and according to the ancient tradition Íos was the homeland of Homer’s mother and the final resting place of the great epic poet.
The center of the island is a complicate labyrinth of white little streets, houses and paths, decorated by colorful details, reflecting the rays of light…it’s a pleasure to wander around and discover this place slowly, stopping in the several bars or in the shops.
Per spostarci abbiamo scelto di utilizzare il Quad, un mezzo che ci ha permesso di vivere appieno la natura e i paesaggi che Ios ha da offrire, percorrendo strade sterrate altrimenti inagibili, facendo su e giù per le montagne greche: noi ci siamo affidati a Vangelis Rental Service.
To move around we chose to use the Quad, so that we could fully experience the nature and the landscapes of Ios, driving through dirt roads otherwise impossible to reach, going up and down through the greek mountains: we entrusted Vangelis Rental Service.
Una delle spiagge che ho preferito, tra quelle che abbiamo visto, è probabilmente Theodoti. Qui il colore del mare è azzurrissimo e trasparente, la temperatura piuttosto fredda e la particolarità è che parte della spiaggia è come “cristallizzata” e la battigia, a tratti, è solida, come se la sabbia, nel corso del tempo, si fosse stratificata creando mille insenature.
One of the beaches I preferred, among the ones we saw, it’s probably Theodoti. Here the color of the sea is super blue and transparent, the temperature quite cold and the typical thing is that part of the beach is like “crystallized” and the shoreline is, at times, solid, as if the sand, during the years, has been stratifying creating a lot of creeks.
Ios è l’isola delle chiese, secondo una tradizione locale ce ne sono per l’esattezza 365 “una per ogni giorno dell’anno, una extra per ogni Domenica e festa pubblica”. Le chiavi di tutti questi edifici sono state date a diverse famiglie, che si occupano della loro manutenzione: è un lavoro duro, perchè spesso le chiese sono situate lontano dalle abitazioni delle persone che se ne prendono cura.
Proprio in una di queste abbiamo ammirato uno splendido tramonto, da una posizione privilegiata e con una vista mozzafiato sull’isola e sul mare.
Ios is the island of churches. Nobody knows exactly how many churches and chapels are scattered over the island, but according to a popular myth, there are 365 of them: one for every day of the year “One for every day of the year, and one extra for every Sunday and public holiday”.
The keys of these churches have been handed over to local families who take it upon them to take care of the buildings, to clean them, to prevent them from falling into disrepair: this is no small job, not least because very few of these churches are located next door to where these caretaker families live.
Right on the top of one of these we admired a wonderful sunset, with a breathtaking view on the island and the sea.
Un’altra cosa irrinunciabile, se decidete di trascorrere le vacanze a Ios, è sicuramente un’aperitivo mentre il sole sta calando: noi siamo stati ospiti dell’Ios Club, un elegante locale dall’atmosfera chic ed elegante. Situato a Chora, su una fila di rocce granitiche, si tratta di uno storico sunset bar che è una perfetta fusione tra la classica architettura delle Cicladi e un tocco moderno. Abbiamo passato una bellissima serata tra musica d’ambiente, servizio cortese e una vista di tutto rispetto.
Something you can not miss, if you decide to spend your holidays in Ios, is for sure a cocktail while the sun is going down: we’ve been guests of Ios Club, an elegant place, where the atmosphere is chic and elegant. Situated across the Chora of Ios, on a row of granite rocks, this historical sunset bar is a sleek fusion of Cycladic architecture, contemporary space and ambiance. we’ve spent such a beautiful evening with ambient music, great service and fantastic view.
