This little beach tends to get rather-unfairly overlooked, but is very handy for Port Ios, being within 20 minutes’ easy walk, past the church on the left headland. There is a long-standing taverna which supplies free fixed parasols (3) and loungers (15) regardless of actual custom – so long as you put the latter away! They only wish you to “have fun”. The clientele tends to be more mature and doesn’t turn a hair if you are brave and strip off first: proportions nude have been recently (Sept 2010) noted to vary between 0% and 95%. The swimming is OK for snorkelling although there is a band of hefty boulders quite close to shore. Further out, the rocks on both sides are often adorned by the unclothed too. Probably what keeps this little haven in its own time-warp is the difficulty of getting there or back by motorised transport!
