Agios Konstantios lies in a pristine cove 7 kilometers to the south of Chora. The landscape around the beach is mountainous and rocky and the beach consists mainly of fine gravel.
It is easy to get into the fine turquoise blue waters. There are fantastic views over Astypalaia's Chora and the castle. The beach is exposed to the northern winds, especially the Meltemi, which blows regularly in summer, so there can be quite some waves.
There is also a lovely view to be had a bit further up of the Agios Konstantinos Chapel, which has given this beach its name. Naturism is enjoyed on the north side of the beach and there are many trees in which to find shelter from the suns rays.
A little ahead the village of Agios Konstantinos lies the tranquil and quite deserted beach of Tzanaki,) popular among naturists, although it has not yet been declared an officially nudist beach.
