We find Krifi Ammosbeach in the southwest part of the beautiful Skiathos island abouteight kilometers from Troulos beach and less than a kilometer fromAgia Eleni beach.
Called "the hiddenbeach", it is sheltered between two high cliffs and with itscircular shape it has a coast of sand mixed with pebbles, clean and crystalline waters with an intense turquoise sea with depths thatdescend quite quickly so really suitable for families with childrenbut not only for this reason, even reaching it if you have childrenwith you is difficult and then understanding why.
Krifi Ammos beach is asmall corner of paradise, not very well known and almost nevercrowded apart from the summer period when Skiathos is full ofvisitors, it is more the locals who love to come especially onSundays to spend a wonderful day at the beach.
It is equipped with afew sun loungers and straw umbrellas (the cost is € 10 per day) andgiven its small size, availability is really scarce so if you want tobe comfortable it would be better to reach it early in the morning soyou can have your deck chair and stay sheltered under your parasolduring the hottest hours. As for catering, there is a small andtraditional tavern where you can find refreshing drinks and deliciousdishes of Greek and local cuisine with the added value of a view ofthe immense Aegean.
Snorkelers at KrifiAmmos beach will have a lot of fun searching the rocks for marinefauna and flora, so don't forget to pack fins, a snorkel, a mask andmaybe an underwater camera.
Krifi Ammos beach isperfect for those who want to stay away from the crowds and enjoy aday with a sea that will leave you speechless.
So it's not impossible,certainly quite challenging but if you have a spirit of adventure itwill be a memorable trip out of town.
Heading south-west keepingfor example Skiathos Town the capital as a reference point, followthe coastal road passing through Troulos and then continue northpassing Agia Eleni and continue the indications from the signs. At acertain point the paved road ends and the dirt road begins. You willarrive at a parking lot where you will have to leave your vehicle tostart a small descent which is quite steep so be very careful as theyare steps dug into the mountain and therefore uneven (better if youtackle them with tennis shoes and not flip flops) and you will havearrived.
Better as always to have arental vehicle, but if you don't feel like driving during yourholiday in Skiathos you can take public transport and get dropped offat stop 24, then continue on foot from there.
Krifi Ammos beach is a stopto be included among the things to see in Skiathos, it will be apeaceful and wonderful day dedicated to sunbathing and sweet doingnothing that is never enough!
