Skarkos Archeological Site
The ruins of the ancient settlement of Skarkos lie near the beach of Gialos, Ios island. The settlement dates back to the Early Bronze Age and occupies a small elevation.
Skarkos was built on terraces comprising the entire elevation, as some of the walls which have remained until today are up to 3 meters high. The site has entrance fee and works every day (8:00-15:30), except for Tuesdays and official holidays. You can also enjoy a nice aerial view of Skarkos from the small churches on the top of Chora, behind Panagia Gremniotissa.
