Golden Sand Beach (Chrysi Ammos)

Golden Sand Beach, or Chrysi Ammos (Χρυσή Άμμος) in Greek, is our favorite hidden gem on the island. With its stunning turquoise waters and complete seclusion, it feels like your own private paradise. Just remember to bring plenty of water and a sun umbrella — there are no facilities, only endless beauty.
