Krifi Ammos beach

Krifi Ammos means hidden sand. It is a secluded cove north of Agia Eleni, reached by a dirt road and a steep descent, or by boat. It faces north, so it takes the meltemi swell. There are no sunbeds. Take cash: there is no network coverage for card terminals. One family taverna sits above the beach.

Which beach today?

Six questions. The most useful one is the wind — the meltemi is northerly, so on a windy day the south coast is calm and the north coast is not.
