Cycladic Gem Luxury Villa in Ios Island 840 01, open June–September.

We recently got married at Cycladic, and it was hands-down the best decision we could have made. If I could get married here every single year I would haha, maybe we will be back for our anniversary! The villa itself is a stunning, incredible property—its beauty is completely beyond question. We traveled with a large family, including our youngest little ones, and everyone was exceptionally comfortable. What truly sets this place apart, however, is the hosting. Kim went completely above and beyond for us. We had a long list of requests, and she managed every single one effortlessly. She even helped us liaise with some of our wedding suppliers, which wasn't even part of her job description! Because Kim and the owners live close by, communication was instant; any question or inquiry we had was answered and resolved immediately. The daily breakfast was top-tier, the location is perfectly quiet yet incredibly close to all the great spots on the island, and the hospitality is simply unmatched. A wedding here is without a doubt the best spot in all of Ios. Beautiful, beautiful property and beautiful people. We will absolutely be back!
