Spot de Psili Ammos / Samos

Psili Ammos / Samos

Psili Ammos / Samos

Overview

Psili Ammos is a spot on Samos's southeast coast, in the Mycale Strait facing Turkey. Like Mykali Beach, the Meltemi (N/NNE) is OFFSHORE here, pushing toward Turkey very close by (~2km). The spot only works in southerly wind. Psili Ammos means "fine sand" — the beach is one of the finest on Samos with its golden sand. The water is flat thanks to the very short fetch of the strait.
