IOS Adasında bir sonraki tercihim yine burası olur.
Pros:

Otele ulaşmak çok kolay limandan itibaren sadece 10 dakika. Çok erken gitmeme rağmen check-in saatimden önce beni içeriye aldılar sağolsunlar ve bu çok önemliydi dinlenebildim. Otel merkezi konumda sahil hemen dibinde. Chora'ya ulaşmak çok basit kondisyonunuz varsa 20 dakika yürüyüş yoksa hemen limandan otobüs ile KTEL gidebiliyorsunuz. Ayrıca diğer konumlarada yine limandaki bu duraktan gidebiliyorsunuz. Lİman kısmında bir çok market ve restourant ayrıca local yerler mevcut güzel bi yürüyüş oldu kaldığım sürede.

Cons:

Genel olarak olumsuz bir nokta yoktu sadece odaların kapıları aşırı rüzgardan dolayı sanırım biraz gevşemiş şiddetli rüzgarda kapılar oynuyordu. Ama çok dert edicek birşey değil.

Pros:

Property was lovely with a great location right beside the beach and an amazing view of the town. The owners were so helpful - they gave us bowls, spoons and a knife and even a kettle when I only asked for some hot water! They were very kind and said hello whenever we walked past. Will definitely stay here again!

Cons:

Nothing! Everything was great.

The perfect place to stay on Ios!
Pros:

I loved staying at Mare Monte from the moment I got there. The owners are so nice and really make you feel welcome. I arrived early and they were kind enough to give me an early check-in. Nice, clean and spacious rooms with a lovely balcony. The pool area is great and the beach is just across the street. This place is perfect for some relaxing days on Ios. Highly recommended!

Pros:

Mai 26: Sehr gute Lage am Strand, gepflegter Pool mit Liegen & wunderschöne Bepflanzung! Sehr freundliche Besitzer und tägliche Zimmerreinigung. Handtücherwechsel alle drei Tage. In geringer Gehweite zahlreiche Tavernen, Cafés & Minimarkt.

Cons:

ABER liebe griech. Freunde: die Zimmer sind höchst reparaturbedürftig! Lockere Bettrahmen, knarrende alte ungedämmte Zimmertüren und sehr antikes, abgenutztes, viel zu kleines Badezimmer.

One of my favourite stays in Greece, highly recommend (especially if you’re on a budget)!!
Pros:

My friends and I stayed here when we were backpacking around Greece and it was perfect! The staff were extremely friendly and attentive, always asking if there was anything we needed and making us feel very comfortable. The place was very clean and our room got cleaned every day (bin changes, fresh towels, beds made). The pool was also such a bonus, especially after a night out when we couldn’t be bothered to do much exploring. It was a very quiet and relaxing place, but there were still plenty of other lovely people staying there so it didn’t feel dead or isolated at all. And not to mention the location!! It’s right in front of a really nice beach and only a 10 minute walk into the main town Chora, and a 5 minute walk into the port. Super good value for money and suitable for all ages 😁

Cons:

No kitchen facilities but we were obviously expecting that when we booked the place. The staff also let us borrow a kettle and some plates, etc when we asked which was great.

Pros:

De ligging direct aan het strand. Mooie lichte ruime kamers met een groot terras. De prachtige tuin van het hotel vol bloemen. Maar ook zeker de vriendelijkheid van de eigenaar en het personeel. Een echte aanrader.
