About the Beach

Platia Ammos is often considered the most beautiful beach on Ithaca, featuring brilliant white sand and pebbles that make the water glow with an electric blue color. It is located on the northern part of the island and is primarily accessible by boat, which helps maintain its pristine and exclusive feel. The water is deep and incredibly fresh, providing a very invigorating swim. There are no facilities or shops, so it is a truly wild and natural environment. The contrast between the white shore and the deep green hills of Ithaca is spectacular. It is a favorite for those who want a "Robinson Crusoe" experience, where you can spend the day isolated from the world in one of the most scenic bays in the Ionian. The clarity of the sea here is unmatched, making it a top priority for any visitor to the island.
