Beach overall scores
Ammos beach (Peloponnese) is located outside the Kritika settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the coast of the Sapientza island and the correct question is not how to get to Ammos beach, but what mode of transport can be used to get to it, because this part of the coast is inaccessible by land. The beach can only be reached by water and you have to rent a boat to get there.
User reviews
"This beach is truly exceptional. It should be noted that it is a virgin beach with no amenities, but that only adds to its charm."
Nizo
"Untouched shore with no facilities available. It is worth noting that it is probably the only spot in Greece where the sand in the water is white, while the sand on the beach itself is slightly darker."
