Pachia Ammos beach in Tinos |
Pachia Ammos lies about 8 kilometres east of Tinos town, and a few kilometres northeast of Agios Ioannis (Porto). The name comes from the large dunes that are at one end of the beach. Pachia means thick in Greek, and Ammos means sand. All Greek beaches ending in Ammos is generally sandy beaches.

There are not many who goes Pachia Ammos. It's a shame, I think, because it's a nice beach with beautiful rock formations. Maybe it's because it's a little way to walk from the parking lot and down to the beach, and Greeks are not known for wanting to walk. Above the beach lies Pachia Ammos Country Club where there is a taverna, cafe and - wait for it! - a swimming pool.

This prehistoric animal lives above the beach and keeps a watchful eye on you while you swim.
