IOS CLUB - SUNSET DINING BAR

"What a spot for sunset – and what a back story. Hippies first started coming to Ios in the 1960s and this was one of their favourite spots to watch the sunset. However, at that time it was literally a grassy hill. A bar was built on this location in the 1970s/1980s that was quite popular. However, it was not updated over time and ended up being rather rough looking. That changed when the lovely current owners bought the property in 2014. She did a major renovation and Ios Club is now a very stylish and modern beach club/bar. The Ios Club sunset bar is over several levels, offering a huge range of views. A highlight of Ios Club is the music. It is a tradition to play classical music at sunset on Ios in this spot and they have upheld that. However, once the sun sets it moves to modern music. Ios Club has a fantastic aperitif menu – perfect sunset drinks. I very much enjoyed the Italian aperitif. A terrific dinner is then on offer at Ios Club. We started with the Greek selection. Grilled octopus, fried Atherina fish, roasted shrimps, Tarama with sesame, olives and of course amazing Greek bread. We then followed the starters up with skirt steak and the same style of cooking for our chicken. There was no room for dessert. "
