Manganari Beach
Μαγγανάρι
A cluster of connected bays at the island's southern tip, with white sand and transparent turquoise water that rival the Caribbean. Often ranked among the most beautiful beaches in the Cyclades.
Manganari sits at the southernmost tip of Ios and is made up of several small bays, with fine white sand and shallow, crystal-clear water in shades of turquoise. The film The Big Blue was shot nearby. The main bay has restaurants and sun loungers, while the smaller coves are quieter. It's about a 40-minute drive from Chora along a winding mountain road with beautiful views. In summer, buses or small boats from the port go there directly. Facilities are limited and return trips are infrequent, so check the timetable carefully.
