Samothrace · Beach

Pachia Ammos Beach

Pachia Ammos is the island's principal sandy beach, lightly organised and reached by a long south-coast road with boat access beyond.

Our take

Samothrace's rare sandy beach below rugged slopes

Pachia Ammos forms a golden-sand bay on southern Samothrace, a contrast to the island's predominantly pebble coast. Seasonal seating and a canteen make it the most straightforward conventional beach day on the island.

The final road is winding and services are limited outside peak season. South wind can roughen the bay. Boat trips leave for otherwise inaccessible coasts, but schedules depend entirely on weather.
