Secluded pebbles with freshwater springs

Ampelo is a secluded pebble beach in Mesa Mani, in Lakonia, below the settlement of Agios Kyprianos. It is washed by the waters of the Lakonian gulf, far from the crowds.

Its distinctive feature, according to local accounts, is the freshwater springs that well up at its two ends. A small path from the middle of the beach leads to a little chapel of Agios Ioannis.

Access is not easy: from Agios Kyprianos a concrete road descends toward Kastrochori and ends in a steep final section. The beach is not organized and has no amenities, so you will need to bring whatever you require.

About this beach

Ampelo is exposed in the meltemi — often choppy on summer N/NE days. That comes from the measured shape of the coastline around it and our curated wind records — a seasonal picture, not a live forecast, so check live wind and waves before you go.

The bay at Ampelo opens to the north-east, so it usually has natural cover from northerly, north-westerly and easterly winds.

Ampelo has pebbles underfoot.
