The small, some 200 meters long, sandy beach of Psili Ammos (meaning fine sand in Greek) is situated at the southeastern coast of the island, at a distance of some 9 kilometers southern to the capital town of Samos. It is a beach that is worth its name, with nice fine sand, pretty shallow, very clean sea and well protected from the winds. Accommodation facilities are available close to the beach and in the area around and the seafront taverns offer gorgeous food and relaxing before or after swimming. The beach is sufficiently organized with facilities for swimming and sunbathing (sun beds, umbrellas) and it is a good alternative for quiet swimming in a nice sea and relaxing at a beach not far from the capital. Access from the town of Samos is possible by taxi and by private means (car and motorbikes).
