Ios (Greek: Ίος) is an island in the Cyclades group in the Aegean Sea. It is a part of Greece. Ios is a hilly island with cliffs down to the sea on most sides, situated halfway between Naxos and Santorini. It is about 18km (11 mi) long and 10km (6 mi) wide, with an area of about 105 km˛ (41 mi˛). Population was 1,820 in 2006 (down from 3,500 in the 19th century). Ios has left little impression on history. Ancient tradition said that Homer's mother was from Ios, and that he himself was buried there - and indeed the locals will show visitors the site of the ancient town of Plakotos at the northernmost end of the island, where the rocky entrance to a tomb may be seen. There is no physical evidence connecting this with Homer however. There are signs of Mycenaean settlement. Ios attracts very large numbers of young tourists, many of whom used to sleep on their sleeping bags during the 1970s on the popular beach of Milopotamos (or Milopotas) after partying through the night. Today Milopotamos beach has been developed to an equivalent mass package tourism resort like Platys Gialos and Paradise Beach of Mykonos.
