Beaches at Ammoudi

The Weather Now

17°C

A string of bays enclose the beaches of Ammoudaki, Kleisidi and Large Ammoudi (or just Ammoudi). A little further off is Schoinaria.

Small Ammoudi Beach

The westernmost is the smallest of these: with white sand, crystal clear but cold water and frequented by nudists. Though not organized, it does have a café-canteen where you can get umbrellas and sunbeds. When there, the cave at is west end is worth taking a look at.

At the east end there is a way through to Klesidi, a small gap where you can wade through.

Kleisidi Beach

Next door to Ammoudaki is this small beach, with sand and turquoise waters. A feature is the large rock in the centre of the small bay.

Watch a really cool video of this hidden gem. One can wade from this to Ammoudaki to the west.

Ammoudi Beach (Large Ammoudi)

Large Ammoudi is better organized than the other two – with umbrellas. Around it are rooms to rent and small tavernas. The coarse white sand will impress you. Appropriately as it is fine for diving (in its green waters), it has a diving School on it.

East of Ammoudi is Schoinaria – a good spot for relaxation and tranquility.

Schoinaria

This is a beautiful beach with sand, small pebbles and blue crystal-clear and deep waters. The luxurious seabed is most suited to diving: here too a diving centre runs both day and nighttime explorations.

Organized as it is, you will find umbrellas, sunbeds and showers, whilst close by is a taverna.

Accessibility

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

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:

  1. Environmental sustainability: preserving the natural landscape and ecosystems, with actions to reduce pollution, energy consumption and waste.
  2. Economic sustainability: supporting local economies, strengthening small businesses and creating jobs, while respecting the region's natural resources.
  3. Social sustainability: respecting local culture and traditions, strengthening social cohesion and ensuring that tourism activities benefit the quality of life of local people.

With sustainable tourism, visitors can have authentic experiences, knowing that the impact of tourism on the region is positive and lasting for future generations.

Locality

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.
