Pachia Ammos is the sandy beach of Samotraki. Its Greek name, which means "a thick layer of sand", perfectly emphasizes this feature of the coast, so attractive for relaxation. The beach is located on the southern outskirts of Samotraki, 15 km from the port of Kamariotissa and is the only one on the island, which can be reached both by boat and by land.
Kipos Beach is a picturesque wild beach on the northern outskirts of Samotraki, which is considered one of the best on this Greek island. People come here for the secluded relaxation and unforgettable diving. An asphalt road is laid to the beach, so it is becoming increasingly popular among vacationers. But it’s never crowded.
Vatos Beach is the most picturesque, but not crowded due to the inaccessibility of Samotraki beach, which is worth visiting when traveling on this island. It is located east of the more popular among vacationers Pachia Ammos. Vatos is the second beach after it on the island, the coast of which is covered with clean fine sand, in contrast to the stony-pebble covering prevailing here. But on the seabed, the sand here is also mixed with pebbles.
Pyrgos tou Fonia is a small, but interesting beach in the northeastern outskirts of Samotraki island. This beautiful coast also has the grim name of the “Killer Tower”. A reminder of this name is the ruins of a medieval rectangular fortress towering on the shore of Pyrgos tou Fonia. This tower is believed to be a small part of the majestic serf complex that existed in this area.
