Megali Ammos sits on the Perdika–Sivota route, just before Mikri Ammos, about a 30-minute walk from central Sivota. Despite its name (“Big Sand”), the shore is mainly pebbly with small to medium stones — water shoes are recommended.
The beach is organised with sunbeds, umbrellas, snack bars and fish tavernas right behind the shore. Changing cabins and toilets are available, but no showers are reported. Entry into the sea is straightforward, but the seabed drops off quickly within a few metres — a feature that suits swimmers but requires attention with small children.
A distinctive feature: freshwater springs from the surrounding mountains flow into the sea, creating a layer of cooler water. The temperature can surprise first-time swimmers.
There is no dedicated car park — arrive early or plan to walk from Sivota.
Megali Ammos neighbours Mikri Ammos and sits close to Mega Drafi — three beaches within a short distance of each other.
