This (Deep Sands, aka Ornios) is a beautiful beach some 300 m long, with sand (as its name suggests) and very clear waters, which deepen suddenly. It is set in the shade of tall cliffs, both steep and massy; and exposed to the strong local winds.
Like many others around here, the beach is visited by the loggerhead turtles (Karetta karetta) when they ready to lay their eggs. To get there, follow the dirt road from Treis Ekklesies. Very near to Pacheia Ammos is the seaside village of Treis Ekklesies, with its wonderful beach.
The beach lies at the centre of the shore-line of the village, which is called after the three churches in it: the Transfiguration, Aghios Antonios and the Annunciation.
The sheltered beach is surrounded by steep and even sheer cliffs, lying as it does at the mouth of the Aghia Paraskevi Gorge. It has sand and very clear, translucent waters – ideal for underwater exploration. Though it is not developed, close by you can find some rent-rooms and a taverna or two.
If in the area, it is worth a trip to the nearby village of Paranymfi, some 800 m above sea level: as well as an old Byzantine church (Aghios Pavlos again) with wall-paintings, there is an impressive waterfall within the nearby Ambas gorge – all 145 m of it!
A lovely quiet beach at the mouth of a gorge (Mesosfini), it possesses sand and deep translucent waters. It owes its name to a large cave at the east end of the beach: the Eye of the Ox.
To get there, you must first get from Pyrgos to Treis Ekklesies, passing through Charaka and Paranymfi. Once at Treis Ekklesies, follow the dirt-road, which after 5 km gets you to the beach. Having parked your car, you descend a short way down some rocks to arrive on the beach.
Continuing east in the East Asteroussia, the next beach to the east is Aspri Paralia.

The Rural Greece is an online portal that connects travellers with unique destinations and local businesses in the countryside, offering authentic experiences through activities that highlight nature, traditions and culture.
For the Rural Greece accessibility is fundamental to enhancing an inclusive tourism experience. Following the principles of inclusion and equality, the epaithros Rural Tourism Network and its member businesses are constantly working to enhance the tourism services provided, ensuring that all visitors have the opportunity to experience the authentic beauty of the Greek countryside.
Sustainability in tourism refers to a way of developing tourism that respects and protects the environment while strengthening the local economy and preserving cultural traditions. The aim of sustainable tourism is to provide unique and authentic experiences for visitors without harming the natural and social environment, while ensuring that local communities benefit from tourism activity.
This type of tourism is based on three pillars:
With sustainable tourism, visitors can have authentic experiences, knowing that the impact of tourism on the region is positive and lasting for future generations.
For Rural Greece, localism is one of the most important factors for the development of sustainable tourism, as it promotes a strong link between the tourism product and the local society, economy and culture. Through localism, visitors get the opportunity to explore authentic elements of the destination, such as local products, traditions and culture. This not only boosts the local economy, but also helps to sustain and strengthen local businesses, creating new jobs and supporting the development of local communities.
Furthermore, localism contributes to the sustainability of the tourism sector, as it reduces the use of resources from other regions and encourages the use of local goods and services, reducing the ecological footprint of tourism activities. Thus, integrating localism into tourism practices enhances sustainability awareness, both among visitors and local businesses, creating a more responsible and sustainable tourism destination.
