Description
Let set sail on a private traditional wooden boat for the marvelous beaches of Ios. Our sailing experience starts from the port of Ios, where you will meet your destination angel for the day, your local Captain and board a traditional wooden motorboat. Our first stop is the beach of Kolitsani, located near Mylopotas beach. Kolitsani is a small sandy beach surrounded by small white Cycladic houses. Continuing south your next stops will be Klima and Pikri Nero beach.
Both beaches have azure blue waters, fine sand and are ideal for swimming and snorkeling. Let your Instagram get on fire on Tripiti beach, one of Ios most photographed beaches. Tiripiti is a small cove on the southern part of Ios, accessible only by boat. Our last stop, Manganari beach, formed by 4 consecutive beaches, creating a majestic turquoise colored lagoon, is rightfully regarded being one of the most beautiful places to swim in the Aegean. Manganari beach was the base and one of the filming spots for Jean Luc Besson’s movie “The Big Blue”.
