Beach overall scores
Kolitsani beach (South Aegean) is located outside the Chora 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 Ios 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 Kolitsani beach 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
"The beach in Ios is the best, and it's very peaceful. It's also easily accessible, which is a plus. When the island is windy, this is the only beach where you can comfortably stay. It's important that we preserve it, so please remember to take your garbage with you when you leave."

"I really love this beach in Ios! It's a small, sandy beach with crystal-clear waters that are super clean. Plus, it's easily accessible, which makes it even better."
