Beach overall scores
Paralia Plakes (South Aegean) is located outside the Psathi 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 Paralia Plakes 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
"This serene beach can be accessed by travelling on a bumpy dirt road for 5 kilometers. I opted for a 125cc scooter to reach this hidden gem. The beach was enchanting and secluded, with only 10 individuals present in late July. It lacked any amenities or facilities, but it was undoubtedly the most stunning beach I came across during my stay in Ios."

"The beach is absolutely gorgeous, with crystal clear waters perfect for snorkeling. However, the only downside is the presence of countless goats roaming around."
