Beach overall scores
Magganari beach (South Aegean) is located outside the Manganari 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 Magganari 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 is absolutely stunning with crystal clear blue waters and pristine sand. The beach bar was peaceful and tranquil, without any background music to disturb the serenity. The cost of 10 euros for two people to lounge was a bargain, considering the quality of the experience. This is undoubtedly the ultimate destination to unwind and recharge."

The sand is pristine, the loungers are plentiful, and the umbrellas provide a much-needed respite from the scorching sun. And for a mere £15, you too can bask in the lap of luxury with two loungers and a shade to cal..."
