The golden sands on the Gavrio-Batsi road

Chryssi Ammos stretches along the west coast of Andros, right on the main road linking Gavrio with Batsi. It is one of the busiest sandy beaches on the island, with the fine golden sand that its name (Golden Sand) describes.

It belongs to the string of sandy coves between Gavrio and Batsi, one of the most accessible and family-friendly stretches of Andros. Its name points straight to the colour of its sand, while its position on the coast road made it a favourite spot for visitors early on.

It is fully organized, with umbrellas, sunbeds and a beach bar operating seasonally, plus a cafe, showers and toilets. The water is shallow and there is parking nearby, which makes it a practical choice for families.
