Beach overall scores
Valmas beach (South Aegean) is located outside the Gialos 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 Valmas 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
"Ios boasts a stunning, secluded beach that is definitely worth a visit. The walk to the beach is lovely and I highly suggest taking the scenic route back around the hill towards the port. Once you arrive at the beach, you'll find that it's sheltered and provides the perfect opportunity to soak up some sun."
Niamh O'Leary.
"This secluded beach is a hidden gem, perfect for those seeking a more intimate seaside experience. The final stretch of 500 meters can only be traversed by foot or quad bike, adding to the sense of adventure and exclusivity. While sunbeds are not provided, the natural beauty of the surroundings more than makes up for it."
