Panagia Gremiotissa crowns Chora's upper hill with a blue dome, palms and a west-facing outlook that has become Ios's defining sunset view.
Panagia Gremiotissa crowns Chora's upper hill with a blue dome, palms and a west-facing outlook that has become Ios's defining sunset view. Climb before sunset to avoid rushing on steep lanes, dress modestly and keep services undisturbed. The church is sacred, not a viewing deck, so remain outside when access is inappropriate. Crowds and wind increase risk around upper paths; descend with adequate light.
