Golden Sand Beach Andros

We therefore arrive at the best known beach of the whole Andros Island, the Golden Sand beach. We find it in the northwestern part just three kilometers from the village of Gavrio.

Called in different ways as Psili Ammos or Chrysi Ammos which in Greek means fine sand and golden sand, it owes this name to the color of its coastline which is the most 'gold of the whole island. Each Greek island has its own Golden Beach and certainly could not miss here too...

A long expanse of soft and bright gravel, bathed by extremely clear and crystalline waters, a sea with bright colors that go from turquoise to intense blue and thanks to their transparency amplify the luminous effect of the beach. The seabed drops gently so that the Golden Sand beach is a very popular destination for families with children and for those who love to indulge in long swims.

Young people also like it very much, perhaps for the fun beach bar located right by the sea where you can sip an aperitif at sunset or for an eventful day on the beach. There are several clubs on the beach, suitable for all the most varied needs of visitors. As you will have understood it is very equipped, you can find sunbeds and umbrellas, some water sports for the more enterprising, and you can choose between a quick and light meal or sit comfortably in one of the typical taverns and taste the specialties of local and traditional Greek cuisine.

The location of the Golden Sand or Chrysi Ammos beach and Psili Ammos (call it whatever you like), is optimal as it is sheltered from the winds that make it a truly idyllic place of extraordinary natural beauty.

The area that hosts it called Kypri (like the homonymous beach which is located just after the Golden Sand) has grown exponentially over the last ten years, now offering various accommodation facilities ranging from simple apartments for a holiday in Greece. from you to hotels with all possible comforts.

Like most beaches on the west coast, it is also very convenient for getting there. Always keeping the Gavrio village as a reference point, following the road signs and the main road, head south and in about ten minutes you will have arrived.

The Golden Sand beach has a small parking lot where you can put your vehicle, whether it is a car or a scooter, but given its small size, the rule is always that those who arrive first stay better, the alternative is to leave it on the roadside, being careful not to get in the way. the passage.

For those who are not independent, on the other hand, they can always opt for public transport which from the main tourist resorts has several trips every day. In this regard, we advise you to always consult the timetables to avoid nasty surprises.

A very beautiful beach and despite being among the most popular, it is still very natural (and here we ask you to always be respectful to the maximum in order to keep it for a long time), to be put among the things to see in Andros.
