Ammos Beach

Ammos Beach

Meaning sand in Greek, Ammos Beach is found on the south side of Agios Nikolaos and it certainly lives up to its name, with a large stretch of white sand and calm blue waters that’s laden with umbrellas and loungers for you to rent. There’s also a marina nearby where you can watch the local boats as they moor up.
