Ammos Beach — the heart of Koufonisia (first dip right by the port)
Ultra-accessible · Family-friendly
Why Ammos Beach is special
It’s the island’s central beach — the first you see on arrival. Soft white sand meets clear, shallow turquoise water in a postcard setting steps from the port.
- Perfect location: dip straight after you step off the ferry.
- Shallow & calm: easy wading and relaxed swims — great with kids.
- Village vibe: cafés, tavernas, bakeries and mini-markets seconds away.
Facilities & services
- Not organized: no sunbeds/umbrellas on the sand; bring shade if you need it.
- Some natural shade: a few tamarisk trees at the back of the beach.
- Accessibility: SEATRAC ramp for independent sea access.
Tip: Grab a coffee in Chora, then swim at Ammos while your room gets ready — the ultimate first-day combo.
