Experience a peaceful POV walking tour of Chora, Ios, Greece, filmed on a warm and sunny day in early October, just after the main tourist season has ended. In this quiet midday walk, enjoy calm ambient sounds as we explore the beautiful Cycladic alleys, historic sites, and stunning viewpoints of Ios.

This relaxing walk begins on the pedestrian path and stairway leading up to Chora, with a short break on the open hillside. From there, we enter Chora near the Cathedral Church of Ios, wander through its iconic narrow whitewashed alleys, and continue to the main square, where a few local cafés and bars remain open in the peaceful shoulder season atmosphere.

Next, we pass Agora Cafe, before heading toward the old windmills of Ios and walking up the hill behind them for panoramic views. The final part of the video begins at Panagia Gremniotissa, taking you past the four little hilltop chapels and ending at St. Nikolaos, the highest point overlooking Chora — offering breathtaking views of the town and the Aegean Sea.

If you love relaxing walks, virtual travel, or are planning a future trip to Ios, this video provides a calm experience of what the island feels like once the busy summer crowds are gone.
