Plakotos beach
Plakotos Beach on Ios Island offers a serene retreat for travelers seeking unspoiled natural beauty. Located approximately 13.1 kilometers north of Ios Town (Chora), this expansive sandy beach is renowned for its crystal-clear blue waters and tranquil ambiance. While the shoreline is sandy, the seabed is rocky, requiring caution when entering and exiting the water. Due to its remote location, there are no facilities or tourist infrastructure on-site, so visitors should bring their own provisions, including water, snacks, and sun protection, to ensure a comfortable stay.
Accessibility
Reaching Plakotos Beach requires private transportation, as there is no public bus service to the area. The journey from Ios Town takes approximately 27 minutes. Due to its remote location and lack of public transport, Plakotos Beach is ideal for travelers seeking a tranquil and pristine beach experience far from the bustling hotspots of the island.
