Beach overall scores
Sapounochoma (South Aegean) is located outside the Mylopotas 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 Sapounochoma 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 great, but there's a point where vehicles can't pass through so you'll have to walk the last kilometer. It takes around 15 minutes to get there and 25 minutes to return. Be careful on windy days as the beach may not be suitable, and make sure to bring some water with you. Overall, it's definitely worth a visit."

"The beach is stunning and can only be accessed by boat or by foot. The gate to the road leading to the beach is closed and can only be opened by the tenants of the nearby house. Additionally, the beach boasts golden sand."
