Kalamos Beach
Κάλαμος
A secluded pebble-and-sand beach on the southeast coast, with a chapel on the cliff top, no commercial facilities and pristine deep blue water.
Kalamos Beach lies on Ios's southeast coast and must be reached by driving a stretch of dirt road. The beach is a mix of coarse sand and pebbles, with clear, deep blue water. It has no sunbeds or restaurants, preserving its natural state. The Agios Ioannis chapel on the cliff overlooks the whole bay. It suits those who like peace and quiet. Bring your own water, food and shade, and avoid swimming when the north wind makes the waves high. It is about 40 minutes' drive from Chora, so a rental car or 4WD is needed.
