Overview

This tour is ideal for visitors looking to explore the culture and flavors of Ios in a relaxed and meaningful way.
We start by visiting the archaeological site of Skarkos, a remarkably preserved prehistoric settlement that reveals the island’s ancient roots.
After a short walk along a traditional stone path, we ride through the countryside to Diaseli Cheesery, a small-scale, family-run cheese farm nestled among olive groves. There, you’ll enjoy a guided tasting of handmade cheeses, produced with love using traditional methods.
Along the way, we pass through private gardens with olive, fig, and vine trees, enjoying the smells and sights of the island’s fertile valley.
The tour is enhanced by storytelling from our expert guides, who share real-life interviews and local traditions.
It’s a rich cultural experience — slow-paced, engaging, and grounded in the land and life of Ios.
