A dune-like sweep of sand with no built-in comfort
Pachia Ammos stands apart from Tinos's rockier coves because a high mound of fine sand rises behind the shore. The setting feels raw despite being near Lychnaftia, with no continuous development and little shade.
The approach is rough, the sand is tiring underfoot and east or north wind can make swimming unsafe. Carry all supplies, avoid trampling vegetation on the dune edges and leave no rubbish. It is better for a short calm-weather visit than an equipped family day.
