Manganari is undoubtedly one of the most impressive beaches in the Aegean. It is located at the southern tip of Ios and is approximately 20 kilometers away from the island's main town. In reality, it is not just one beach but several, with 3 large and many smaller ones connected together.
It is certain to satisfy even the most demanding visitor, at least in terms of the landscape and the beach, as there are both organized sections that attract a lot of people and quiet spots for those who simply want to relax. Although the area is protected from the winds, it is advisable to avoid it on days with northern winds. On the shore, you will find wonderful golden sand, which, combined with the shallow turquoise waters, creates an exotic landscape, providing the ideal conditions for families with children.
On the larger beaches, you will find umbrellas and sunbeds for rent, but there is also free space for those who prefer to use their own equipment. Although there is no beach bar, at the taverns located on the beach and above it, you can obtain the essentials during your visit, as well as enjoy your meal. Additionally, the magnificent seabed is worth exploring, and lovers of water sports will not be disappointed as there are facilities for this purpose.
