Psili Ammos Beach at Kampos
Exploring Patmos Sailing Holidays area
Psili Ammos is a secluded sandy beach with turquoise waters, accessible only by boat (a 45 minutes boat trip from Skala) or by bus to Diakofti and then walking for about 20-30 minutes through a path that leads to the beach. There is a tavern that separates the beach in two parts, one of them being used by nudists. Psili Ammos is not recommended when it is windy and on Sundays of August, because it is too crowded.
