The picturesque capital of Ios is built on a hill with a great sea view and is a typical representation of the architecture style of Cyclades. The small, white, boxy houses with the blue shutters are built with no gaps between, forming a labyrinth, while cars are not allowed in Chora. The freshly painted alleys, the countless cute shops, the little churches with the blue domes and the windmills bring a special charm to Chora. Naturally this is where the action is every night, with the fun, the music from the bars and the spontaneous parties going on until the morning.
