Chora (Excursion)
Port Ios harbour (Town Dock)
Nice dock with good restaurants.
Beware a very large mooring chain across the port about 30 meters from the dock. I caught one of the flukes of my bruce anchor in one of the large links. To get free, I hauled the anchor chain tight and dropped a big loop of rope down my vertical chain and over the anchor. I was then able to slack my chain and, with the loop of rope, pull the anchor fluke out of the mooring chain using a mask and snorkle on the surface to see which way to go.

Valmas Beach (Beach)
This is a beautiful little cove with a taverna, just a short walk from the port on the footpath around the headland past the chapel.
There are two wells on the beach.
Nude bathers on the beach and the rocks.
