This beach is suitable for different categories of people, lonely travellers, relaxation getaway lovers etc. It is almost deserted place even during the high season.

Pountes beach (Northern Aegean) is located outside the Pountes settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the coast of the Samos island and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike.

The chapel of Panagia Eleusis was built in 1984 by the blessed Archimandrite Daniel Stefanis. It is celebrated every year on August 23, the "nine days of Panagia". Below the church there is a beach with crystal clear waters!

Nice beach! If you can catch it, it has some tamarinds for shade! Great place to find some peace! You have to get what you need before you go there there is nothing nearby!

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Pountes beach (Samos island) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Pountes beach (Samos island) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Pountes beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
