15/09 - 20/09 Ios

A day in Ios is all your body needs, more than a day and you're being a drunkard.

Few things about Ios; everyone gets fucked up, shots are €1, if you drink too much you get given a shirt, it's completely normal to be smashed in the head with a fridge door by the bartender after he pours you a drink, nothing opens until noon and days are spent preparing for the escapades of the coming night.

Day 1; Got into Ios at noon and we were lucky enough to see our old mates from Mykonos, Ak and Torrell! We laid by the pool said our goodbyes to the boys and got ready for a night to remember. Pre drinks pouring, music blaring, ready to hit the town at 10:30. First stop Funbar, for every 7 shots you get a free singlet - Anthea and I got one each after being there for 15 minutes. I drunkenly played life sized Jenga with some Canadian snowboarders and got silly on the dance floor with the gang. Next stop Flames for flaming lamborghini's, tribal face paint and too many shots. On our way to the next bar and I epically sprained my ankle - night over.

Day 2 - Drunken injuries must be a standard in Ios - the reception at Farout Beach resort have a concerning amount of crutches and if you need a hospital there's a bus that takes you from out the front straight to the waiting room. Not being able to walk, coping stares from all the people I met the night before and extending our stay for an extra 2 days to party more and get silly!

Day 3 - Wake up ankle is feeling sore but I'm too keen for a night out, it's time to light the night on fire! First we started at Harmony for a mexican feast where the live music is almost as good as the food, then it was time to party! Our starter bar stop is a cafe that offers €1 shots or for €5 get two doubles and two shots - dangerous way to start a night out, next stop is orange bar where you can buy every chocolate bar imaginable but in shot form! From here we went to Slammers - probably the only place I know of that offers a kick, a fridge door, a milk crete, a mallet or a fire hydrant to the head after you buy a drink. I got the mallet, Chris got the hydrant. From here it was off to flames for more shots, tribal face paint and dance floor times! The night ended at breakfast.

Day 4 - Recovery times, pool chills and a thai night out with the gang to farewell our times spent partying! Back to our resort for sneaky harvesting of prickly pears and an early night to prepare for the 9hr ferry ride to Athens tomorrow!
