Papas Beach Ios
The small Ios Island offers its visitors many different coasts that can satisfy any taste, the common denominator is always the same, a respectable nature and sea.
Today we want to talk about Papas beach which is located in the south east part, about seventeen kilometers from the port of Ios Ormos and close to Kalamos beach a little further north, both are perfect for those who want a day of complete relaxation and enjoyment. of the beautiful sea.
A small cove almost a secret treasure chest with a coastline of soft golden sand, clear and very clean waters, a sea that varies from blue to turquoise with seabed that descend slowly, perfect for lovers of long swims and families with children as well. children can play free and adults can enjoy the warm rays of the sun.
Given its position and the fact of being surrounded by cliffs covered with fragrant Mediterranean scrub, it is always very protected from the winds that usually blow on the Aegean, especially in the Cyclades Islands, therefore ideal for spending a whole day there. Once the Papas beach was a real paradise, wild and intact without any comfort so that if you decided to spend a lot of time it was necessary to bring everything from something to shelter in the hottest hours, to something to drink and eat.
Unfortunately and we say it reluctantly because we are convinced that modernization is not always an added value, in recent years they have built a beautiful luxury mega resort let's be clear where spending a holiday becomes a real dream, also planting palm trees that all things considered do not part of the territory of the Cyclades Islands (in Crete, for example, there are native types of these wonderful plants but because in the past it was a crossroads between the East and the West of merchants and who brought seeds and spices from distant and typically more ' exotic) and that according to our point of view has somewhat distorted this wonderful part of Ios, giving it prestige, however, we cannot absolutely deny it. The property, however, does everything to preserve the environment, the only drawback is that the beach is no longer available to everyone but only for the lucky ones who can afford such a structure for their holiday in Ios.
Having said this, however, it is always a pleasant opportunity to explore the area and indulge in even a single regenerating bath without being too noticed, I recommend because it has now become a private beach.
