Plakoto Bay

You'll find Plakoto Bay on Ios's northern coast, a small sheltered cove with golden-brown sand mixed with large pebbles where waves crash dramatically. This remote spot serves as a natural harbor for small boats and sits near the legendary tomb of Homer, making it both practically useful and historically intriguing. The bay feels wild and untouched compared to Ios's busier southern beaches, offering a completely different perspective of this hilly Cycladic island.
