Pachia Ammos: Paleochora's Longest Beach

ABOUT

Pachia Ammos is the first beach you'll encounter upon arriving in Paleochora (Palaiochora), and is aptly named ‘Thick Sand’ due to its long stretch of white and thick sand, making it an ideal family-friendly destination.

This beach boasts white sand and shallow, crystal-clear blue waters, creating a serene setting for relaxation. Fully equipped with beach amenities, it offers water sports facilities, parasols, and sunbeds, inviting visitors to unwind while gazing at the beauty of the Libyan Sea.

Surrounded by tavernas, hotels, and rooms for rent, this beach ensures a delightful stay for its visitors. While it tends to attract a crowd, it's important to note that during southerly or westerly winds, large waves may arise, posing potential dangers. However, to ensure the safety of bathers, there is a lifeguard on duty to monitor the sea conditions.
