Latest reviews on Samothrace island's beaches

Pachia Ammos
6 Alyssandra

The beach has a sandy shoreline and the water is easily accessible. Upon paying the entrance fee, you can secure a spot with an umbrella and one drink, and additional drinks are available for purchase. However, the music played is commercial and Spanish, making it feel like a club atmosphere, which may not be ideal for those looking to relax. Additionally, there are no toilets on the beach, and the closest ones are located in restaurants that require a 3-4 minute walk. Unfortunately, during our visit, both toilets were clogged and unpleasant, leaving us with no options for restroom facilities.
