Beach overall scores
Karagatsia Beach (Central Macedonia) region (Halkidiki sub-region) is located outside the Ammouliane 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 Ammoulliani island and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Karagatsia Beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.

"The beach is nothing special, just like any other beach you've seen before. The sand is fine and golden, but it's nothing to write home about.

As for the food, it's not bad, but it's not something you'd g..."

"This beach is a real hidden gem, nestled in the bosom of Ammouliani. It may be small, but it's perfectly formed and not overrun with tourists. The sand is soft and inviting, with lush green hills as a backdrop. We stumbled upon the most delightful little rocks, which made for the perfect Instagram snap. The beach bar is the only game in town, but it's all you need, really. T..."
