The road from Kampos continues to the west on the edge of the cliffs and after 2.5 kilometres you reach Psili Ammos Beach. It is a wide beach of fine sand which gently shelves into the sea. Half of the beach is umbrellas (to the left as you enter the beach), about a quarter of the other half towards the end at the right is naturist, up to 20 people while my correspondent was there at the end of September 2002. Although the road runs at the back of beach this is at an elevated level and this section of the beach is not easily visible from there.

My contributor would rate this beach highly (95%). The setting, with the mountains behind and the Bay of Marathokampos in front, is probably one of the best he has seen in Greece.


2006 June: Barefooters recommend Psili Ammos - a lovely sandy beach with with shallow water with a sandy bottom - so, unlike Tsamadou, it is easy to get in and out of the water. It is roughly 45min walk from Votsalakia (don't confuse it with the one to the south of Samos Town). Taverna and toilets are available by access point, about 250 metres from nudist section which is at the extreme right as you look at the beach. Sunbeds are available for 6 euros per set per day. This pretty little nudist area (apparently it used to be a larger section of the beach) had 5 couples and two families on it with room for a few more, most were English, all were friendly. It was also interesting that a lot of people my reporters talked to had been to Samos year after year.

2005 June: Barefooters found the beach a pleasant surprise. There were some 30 nudists at the west end, and the beach was very pleasant, the water clean and good for swimming. Beware of the slope leading down to the beach - the taverna washes cars and lets out the soapy water on the slope making it very slippery.

2007 June: Barefoot reporters described it as a sandy beach with a small nudist section. On my reporters' visit there were 5 or 6 other nude couples. They rated it 60%.

2009 & 2011: 100% textile, shame really, would have been perfect.

2012 June: Some good news. At our visit the sunbeds guy said: nude is no problem, the last 5 sunbeds and the beach beyond are for the nudists. Indeed when we were there (on a Sunday) there were 4 nude couples and a woman alone.

2015 - West end still nudist OK. We also visited Psili Ammos near Votsalakia, nice beach but it's a pity about the shitty music from the restaurant. West end was 100% nude but it's in the shade early in the afternoon so you have to move and the rest of the beach was too crowded.

2018 July: On two afternoons no nudists, but the end part was empty, so I saw no problem in stripping off.

2024: The beach is 100% textile, except western part early in the mornings.
