Nestled close to Ammos lies yet another breathtakingly beautiful beach that boasts of serene waters and a picturesque view of Keros Island. The convenience of a sea bus that docks at one end of the beach makes it an ideal spot for those seeking a hassle-free journey to the port. This is truly a dream destination that promises to leave you spellbound.

The western side of the beach boasts an impressive array of sea life perfect for snorkeling. It's advisable to arrive early to secure a prime spot on the narrow beach. The sand is quite fine, but there are some rocks scattered about. It's best to steer clear of the bar closest to the beach.

This beach is fantastic and easily accessible either by a 5 euro boat ride from the port or a 15-minute walk. Additionally, there's a beach bar with great music and food. It's a family-friendly spot with ice cream and convenient beach access for the little ones.
