The quite exotic and remote sandy beach of Psili Ammos is situated at a distance of 95 kilometers far from Aghios Nicolaos at the Northeast, 25 kilometers eastern to Sitia and 10 minutes (on foot) far from Vai at the South. The beach is affected by the strong winds blowing in the area.

Not organised at all and isolated, the beach doesn’t offer any kind of facilities to the swimmers, apart from the crystal clear blue sea and the golden fine sand, after which it has been named (“psili ammos” means “fine sand” in Greek). It is only for this that you will choose the beach, after having found a lodging at Sitia or Palaekastro. The beach is one of the best in the area and calm enough, as the low hills keep it hidden and isolated, an almost “private” beach. And if you feel like climbing the hills, you will find some smaller beaches, with even less people, but with the same fine golden sand.
