Yialos forum hiya.. me and a mate just booked a one way flight to come to ios may 5th and booked 9 days in markos village hotel.. is 9 days going to be long enough to find a job and another cheaper place to live? and do we need to book a ferry or can we just turn up a the port and wait for the next one?
thanks for any help u can give me ! xx
Hi there
The season kicks off full time in early May although most resorts don't start to get really busy until June. Nine days could be plenty of time or not enough, hopefully you'll get lucky on both the job and accommodation fronts within your time. Do bear in mind that there is always stiff competition for seasonal work from other Brits, as well as local Greeks and immigrant workers.
There's no airport on Ios so I assume you have actually booked a one way flight to Athens or to a neighbouring Cycladic island? Certainly no need to prebook ferry tickets in May, it's really only July/August that it's best to prebook.
brilliant thanks.. yeah booked to athens! :)

if you keep checking www.gtp.gr then it will eventually give you the times of ferries from piraeus to ios.the may schedules are not out yet apart from blue star ferries and unfortunately,their service to ios seems to stop from february !
brilliant thank youu :)
end in feb? eaakk.. well hope there will be a ferry in may!! x
Hi again
I'm sure there will be, but just keep your eyes on the link that Richard has given you and the schedules will be posted quite soon.
hi beth hon
new schedule for boat times will be added soon ok @ www.openseas.gr
there is always a ferry to ios @ 7.30am departing pireaus every morning, as to my private message to you ,
look fwd to meeting you,
oioi
For a job you can try on this website: www.greeka.com, but now is a little early, i think. And for ferry - greekferries.forth-crs.gr/english/npgres.exe… , this i use every year when i planned my holiday. Good luck! Alina.
Ferries:
Schedules may not give the answer to ferries for Ios, sometimes the Bluestar ferries only call in to Ios on the way back from Santorini, or may drop the stop at Ios. Either way, any ferry to Paros should enable a connection to be made the same day. Ferries may take around 9 hours to Ios, ½ the time if there is fast one. There are not that many ferries from Piraeus to Ios in May, realistically it's only one per day.
we have 3 ferrys a day passing by now in ios there will be ferrys on the schedule for may for sure , we just have to be patient for the new schedule same thing every year :>)
