Ios Island, Greece: Party Central

Ios is a very beautiful place with perfect weather, much like San Diego. It is off-season now and very quiet. There are only about 1,800 year-round residents on the island. During the height of the tourist season (June - August) the population jumps to 20,000. It fills up with younger folks (twenties and thirties) who party in the bars until dawn. The locals tell me in the main village there are approximately 200 bars in an area the size of about three or four city blocks. You don't need a car and can just stumble back to your hotel room. The bar business must be competitive because I saw signs which advertise a free tee shirt  with the purchase of seven shots of liquor. This would be a tee shirt windfall for certain friends and relatives of mine who shall remain nameless. You know who you are! :-)
