Koumbara Beach Ios

Koumbara beach, we find it in the northwestern part of the lively Ios Island about four and a half kilometers from the capital Chora.

It is located in a beautiful rocky bay, surrounded by suggestive mountains that protect it from the winds of the Cyclades Islands, white boulders, sinuous hills and climbing trees. An expanse of light soft sand more or less three hundred meters long and forty wide, interspersed with small cliffs where the more daring delight in acrobatic dives, clean and crystalline waters, a blue sea that changes to bright turquoise, seabed that gently slope ideal for lovers of regenerating and long swims and for families with children.

A succession of small mainly rocky inlets where snorkelers can have fun discovering the underwater world and in this regard we advise you not to forget fins, mask, snorkel and why not a beautiful underwater camera to immortalize the inhabitants of the Aegean.

Given its particularities and natural beauty, Koumbara beach is often awarded the Blue Flag. Until the 80-90s it was a completely wild beach and a favorite destination especially for naturists, but in recent decades its increasingly growing development, has transformed it into one of the most popular destinations for people who choose their holiday in Ios, offering various accommodation opportunities and a new and luxurious beach bar http://www.erego.gr/ with its services and a restaurant high quality.

It is equipped with sunbeds and umbrellas and behind the spectacular palm trees owned by the Erego, they give an almost exotic atmosphere. Far from the chaos and therefore perfect for a relaxing day at the beach and a fabulous sea, Koumbara beach offers a choice of typical taverns where you can savor Greek cuisine. For those who want to stay in close contact with nature and not use the services, a part is completely free so you can identify the area that best suits you and spread out your towel in complete freedom. Even for those who love comfort there is an alternative to the luxury beach club that offers deckchairs, parasols and a delicious fish tavern at more moderate prices.

The Koumbara region offers many particular beaches, just on the opposite side of the bay there is a beach of large pebbles always almost deserted, and other beaches with multicolored stones and a couple of dark sand.

Do not miss the sunset from Koumbara beach, it is a magical moment!

If you like walking, from the Ormos port you can take a nice walk of about thirty minutes.

There is also a public bus service from the major seaside resorts with daily runs, and in this regard, as every time, we recommend that you consult the timetables.

Finally, for those who are autonomous with a scooter rather than a car, just head north-west from where you will be staying following the signs for Ormos and once you reach the village take the road on the left that passes through the back of a another wonderful coast, the Gialos Beach which just after a climb leads you to the Koumbara beach where there is a free parking behind.

A beach to be included among the things to see in Ios for a day dedicated to swimming, sunbathing, hiking in the mountains and relaxing to the sweet sound of the sea.
