Overview

Psili Ammos Beach, located approximately 25 km east of Sitia in northeastern Crete, is a secluded cove near the renowned Vai Palm Beach. Accessible via a short footpath that begins at the eastern end of Vai Beach, Psili Ammos is known for its fine golden sand and crystal-clear turquoise waters. The surrounding hills provide a natural barrier, enhancing its tranquility and making it an ideal spot for naturism. The beach is unspoiled, lacking amenities such as sunbeds, umbrellas, or tavernas, so visitors should plan to bring their own provisions.
