Limani (port) Ammatou Beach
With its small natural harbour (for the small boats of the locals), this is a quiet secluded beach with pebbles, sand and very clear water. A few tamarisks offer some shade to the visitors.
A passable dirt-road leads here; and the harbour is connected to Aghia Irini by another path.
Tis Lygias o Lakos
Just a few metres off from Limani Ammatou is a small sheltered beach with this peculiar name.
It has small pebbles, crystalline blue waters and all around towering cliffs – creating a wild but also beautiful landscape. Off shore by a few hundred metres are a cluster of islets, collectively known as Kavali. Basically they are three steep rocky outcrops that provide shelter for predatory birds – namely the migratory varvakia hawk (mavroperites, or Eleanor’s falcon).
Ammatou Beach
A little before Xerokampos is a long beach, the largest in the region. It has pale-coloured sands and clear turquoise and shallow waters. Quiet, it lacks any organization, though you can find some tavernas and rentable rooms close-by.
The view over the Libyan sea is enchanting; from the beach you can partake of a most spectacular sunset over the three Kavila islets and Koufonisi to the southwest.
Right next door, on the other side of Cape Trachilos, are some small coves with their beaches – very close to Xerokampos. The first is called Gerontolakos.
