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.
Riding in southerly wind only. Launch from the fine sand beach. Flat water in the strait. No kite center. Very popular tourist beach in summer — share space with swimmers.
Ultra-flat water in the strait (~2km fetch). Fine sand bottom, gradually deepening. Ideal freestyle conditions in southerly wind.

Open all year round
