About Renting a Car at Mylopota

Mylopota is Ios's most famous beach and here you can pick up your rental car directly in the beach area without having to go to the port. One rental company is on-site in Mylopota, about 5 km from Ormos Port and 2 km south of Chora. The 600-meter long sandy beach with turquoise water is one of the Cyclades' most beautiful.

Mylopota Bay is on the western side of Ios, protected by cliffs that create an almost lagoon-like swimming area. From here it's 20 km south to Manganari Beach along a partly gravel road with fantastic sea views. Chora with its 400-year-old windmills is reached in 5 minutes uphill.

Park the car at the parking lot above the beach – it is forbidden to drive down on the sand. Drive to Far Beach on the east coast, 12 km away, for a quieter alternative beach. Avoid driving Ios's narrowest roads at night – lighting is limited and there are no road shoulders.

Where exactly is the car rental company in Mylopota? The rental company is located along the main road leading down to Mylopota Beach, near the larger hotels and restaurants in the area. Can I drive the rental car from Mylopota to Manganari Beach?
