Agia Theodoti beach in Ios

Agia Theodoti beach is located on eastern Ios, about 10 kilometres from Chora. The drive there is very beautiful, and you will meet a lot of goats. When approaching the beach you will see the view over the sea and Agios Theodoti beach from above. The beach is long and consists of sand and gravel, in its places it is a bit stony. The beach is more beautiful from above than from below. It is better to continue to Manganari if you want a really nice beach. Feel free to stop in the tiny village of Psathi as well. There is a beach and a cosy taverna.

There are a few hotels and tavernas on the beach, and sunbeds are available for rent.

Agios Theodoti used to be a hard-to-reach beach that very few visited. Today the road is widened and asphalted, but still not many people go here, the vast majority continue to the beach paradise of Manganari, or the small village of Psathi. There is as much space here as possible, even in high season. There are tavernas and a few hotels here.

There are often a lot of goats along the road to Agios Theodoti and Psathi. Almost every time we've driven the stretch, we've had to stop to let large herds of goats pass. The fact that there are so many goats right here is because there is a small company called Diaseli, which makes goat cheese nearby. Examples of cheeses produced are kefalotiri, graviera, xinotiri, mizithra and skotiri. The cheeses can be bought in a shop in the port and they are incredibly good. Read more about the cheeses on Diaseli's website.

ACCOMMODATION AT AGIA THEODOTI BEACH

As you understand, the supply is extremely small, and it is best to book in advance. As far as I know there are only a few places to stay, one of these is Traditional House by The Beach.
