Actress Christina Alexanian at Ios Palace Hotel & Spa (See photos)
Actress Christina Alexanian has been spending her summers in cosmopolitan Ios Palace Hotel & Spa for the past 6 years. In her quotes, she explains: «Ios island is not where I grew up or the island I chose to visit by chance when I was a teenager. It is an island that I chose without actually knowing why and it chose me back. I didn’t know about the island before my first visit. All I knew was that many scenes from the film “Big Blue” were shot there».
When for personal reasons she seeked for an escape to a new place back then, she borrowed a travel guide (BEST) from her friend Alexandros and she picked the first hotel that was on the list - Ios Palace – which proved to be a revelation to her...a newly found treasure. «I opened the travel guide and I saw Ios Palace first on the list which immediately made me think very positively, since the name contained the word ‘Palace’!. I made the hotel a call without second thoughts and asked for a room with sea view. And this is exactly what I got...a hotel that was practically on the sea shore».
The aura of the island cannot compare to anything else and the successful actress freely suggests Ios island and Ios Palace Hotel and Spa to travelers wanting to live and feel an experience of the beauties of theCyclades.
«Ok! Mylopotas Beach in Ios...The best version of the Aegean Sea spreading in front of my eyes. When I am here, I certainly empty my head from all those things that don't let you shout out that Life is Beautiful»! The areas of Maganari, Pikri Nero, Tris Klisies, Tripiti, Αvlaki tou Papa. If you are lucky like the actress is and you have friends οn the island that own a yacht you can visit those areas very easily. «I wouldn’t know of which story to share with you first. Possibly about the pasta with sea food that we cooked at the beach using a bit of sea water! The most delicious sea I have ever tasted!»! Christina Alexanian has been a loyal fan of Ios island ever since, visiting it every year.
