The great beach of Mylopotas is not only one of the most famous and popular of Ios, but it is also considered one of the ten best beach resorts in Europe.
Very close to the capital, it is the ideal place for tourists of any age: perfect for young people looking for fun and ideal for families who want to enjoy a day at the beach enjoying all the comforts and services that the beach of Mylopotas offers.
Reaching it will not be difficult at all, because it is connected to Chora directly by a bus service, whose departures are considerably intensified during the summer. If you prefer to get there by car, all you have to do is take the easy paved road that connects it to the capital. We advise you to arrive early, or rent a scooter because, given the large number of tourists that crowd it, it will be quite difficult to find a parking space.
You will find a long stretch of soft and golden sand, with two headlands at the ends, which plunges into clear waters with a characteristic turquoise color. Although there is enough space for everyone, in July and August the Mylopotas beach may still be crowded, especially in the middle of the day.
Here you can enjoy all the services offered by the various bathing facilities at variable prices: from € 7 up to € 40 for a beach umbrella and 2 sunbeds. All offer the very convenient bar service directly under the umbrella. Free Beach offers a higher level of service: a very large umbrella, a 3-seater bed with a screen (very useful) for € 40 a day.
Mylopotas beach is actually known above all for the numerous rooms present. Younger tourists come here in the afternoon to enjoy an aperitif at sunset, meet new people and enjoy the musical selections of internationally renowned DJs. This is where one of the best known clubs in Ios is located, Far Out, a must for anyone looking for unbridled fun, not just in the evening but also during the day.
Do not miss the opportunity to try your hand at water sports that offer local facilities then. Choose windsurfing, water skiing or paragliding, to ensure a truly unforgettable memory of your holiday on the island of Ios.
