Megali Ammos 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 Megali Ammos 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.
User reviews
"This beach is truly exceptional! The water is so clear that you can see right through it, and the music playing in the background is pleasant and never intrusive. The best part is that there are plenty of sun beds available for free, and the prices here are much more reasonable than at Alikes beach. I absolutely adore this place!"
Jaxon Landon Cole
"The so-called best beach on the island is nothing but a mundane stretch of sand. The water may be clear, but the lack of any real waves or excitement makes it hardly worth the visit. And let's not forget the constant emptiness - it's almost as if no one wants to come here. But hey, at least you'll have plenty of space to lay out your towel and soak up the disappointment."
