Psathi Beach
Ψάθη
A quiet bay in front of a small fishing village on the east coast, with a couple of seafood tavernas and Byzantine church ruins on the hills above.
Psathi is a small bay on Ios's east coast. The beach is not large, the water is clear, and the area is largely undeveloped. In summer only one or two traditional tavernas operate, serving fresh seafood. Byzantine-era church ruins stand on the hills nearby. The wild, magnificent east coast suits a stop on a self-drive tour of the island. It is about 30 minutes' drive from Chora. Buses run infrequently, so renting a car is the best way to get there.
