Colour photographic view of the harbour of Ios, photographed by N. Kontos from the south. The foreground is occupied by a hillside full of wildflowers and red hollyhocks. In the middle ground stretches the settlement of Gialos (or Ormos) with its mainly modern white buildings, while on the quay can be seen a large crane ship moored and a fishing trechantiri sailing in the waters of the bay.
