Beaches quite near to Ysternia village, easily accesible by car or on foot.

Ammos (Ysternia Bay)

Ysternia Bay a.k.a. Ammos

The beach of Isternia bay is situated on the east side of the summer beach resort named Skinaki. This is a small leeward sandy beach with heather trees, the access to which demands a few meters walk. At the edge of the bay, there is an impressive house built at a conspicuous location, with a magnificent view. Originally, the residence belonged to Hieronymus Kotsonis, and then to Archbishop Seraphim. Although there have been suggestions in the past to turn this building into a museum, it remains shut tight for the time being. Rooms to rent, fish taverns, a cafeteria and a small mooring for boats and motor-powered dinghies are some of the facilities offered to visitors.
