Paralia Ampeli is a small but charming beach located on the Northwestern corner of its island. It is known for its crystal clear blue-green waters and its location in front of the sunset, providing a serene and picturesque setting. The beach is accessible through a country road, approximately 8-10 minutes drive from the main road. However, the road leading to the beach is a steep dirt road, which may require caution for inexperienced drivers or very small cars with many passengers.
The beach itself is small and very rocky, but it is well worth the visit due to its turquoise water and opportunities to explore the seabed and have a great swim. Despite its size, the beach is not typically crowded, offering a quiet and isolated spot away from the noise. However, it is worth noting that there is not much shade available at the beach.
While it is possible to reach the beach by car, another popular way to visit Paralia Ampeli is by joining a boat tour of the island. This allows visitors to enjoy the beach without having to navigate the steep dirt road.
Visitor reviews highlight the beauty of the beach, particularly its crystal clear blue-green waters and the opportunity to enjoy the sunset. The beach's isolated location away from the crowds is also appreciated, providing a peaceful and serene environment. However, some visitors complain about the difficult access due to a steep dirt road and lack of shade.
