Colour photographic view of the harbour settlement of Chora on Ios, photographed by R. Parissis from the west. Through pine foliage in the foreground is depicted the bay with anchored sailing yachts and traditional caiques, while along the shore extend the harbour and the settlement of Ormos (or Gialos) with white multi-storey, mainly modern, buildings. In the background rises the barren and rocky Kefali hill, on which Ios (or Chora) is built amphitheatrically.
