Discover more about Kolimvithra

Kolimvithra is not just one beach, but two: Mikri Ammos (Small Sand) and Megali Ammos (Big Sand), nestled in a scenic bay about 15km north of Tinos Town. Both boast silky sand and crystalline waters, embraced by verdant hills. Mikri Ammos is the more organized and cosmopolitan of the two, offering sunbeds, umbrellas, and a canteen for refreshments. Megali Ammos, also known as "California" by locals, is longer and wider, attracting those seeking a quieter escape and is ideal for watersports. Here, you'll find umbrellas but no sunbeds, and a charming old Volkswagen bus converted into a canteen. The beach is known for its occasional strong winds and waves, creating a surfer's haven. When the sea is calmer, it's perfect for swimming and paddleboarding. The unique mushroom-shaped straw umbrellas add to the beach's bohemian charm, creating a cool and relaxed atmosphere. A beach bar at the center serves ice-cold drinks and cocktails, sometimes with house music adding to the vibrant vibe. Kolimvithra was once a camping spot for students of the Ursulines School. Today, it attracts a mix of locals and international visitors, all drawn to its natural beauty and laid-back atmosphere.
