Psili ammos beach at Marathokampos area (Greek ψιλή άμμος = fine sand) is of the most famous beaches of Samos, it’s also known as “Chrisi ammos”. The beach is surrounded by many pines creating thus a attractive picture, while the golden sand and shallow water make it appealing for swimming and child-friendly.
