Beach overall scores
Agios Georgios (Northern Aegean) is located outside the Exo Faros settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the coast of the Icaria island and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Agios Georgios with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"Ikaría boasts one of the most stunning beaches, which can be accessed with a leisurely stroll from Dracano Tower. The walk takes approximately 10 minutes, and you'll pass by a charming chapel along the way. What sets this beach apart is its serene atmosphere, as it's not overrun with crowds."
Lars Krieger
"The beach in Ikaria is undoubtedly the finest one around. A short, scenic stroll of just 10 minutes will lead you to the sandy shores, where crystal-clear waters await you. You'll be mesmerized by the stunning views along the way, and the beach itself is nothing short of spectacular. The water is so transparent that you can see right through it. It's a perfect spot to unwind..."
