Antisamos is set in a cove with a pebble beach and emerald waters, surrounded by lush green hills. The beach became famous from the film 'Captain Corelli's Mandolin'. It offers natural protection from the wind, while the sea view opens to the east.
The beach faces northeast. With southwesterly winds the air flows offshore and the water near the shore stays flat; with northeasterly winds the sea builds up waves onto the beach. The shape of the coastline offers partial shelter, cutting down part of the swell.
In calm seas yes, but the water gets deep fairly quickly — normal supervision applies.
On days with southwesterly (offshore) winds or no wind at all. Thanks to the sheltered bay it is one of the safer bets in the area on windy days.
Yes — sunbeds, umbrellas and food options operate during the summer season.
