Paralia Plakotos (South Aegean) is located outside the Epano Kampos 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.

The scooter access to this beach is quite challenging and untamed. You won't find any tourists or equipment here, and the sea is always rough.

The beach was hard to reach on a scooter, and unfortunately, there were very few visitors due to pollution.

The beach is stunning, but unfortunately there is a significant amount of seaweed and litter present, making it less than ideal for swimming.
