Drimiskiano Ammoudi

Drimiskiano Ammoudi, Remote beach near Drymiskos, Greece

Drimiskiano Ammoudi is a 300-metre beach of small pebbles mixed with larger stones in a small bay on Crete's southern coast, about nine kilometres southeast of Plakias. A prominent rock block in the sea off the eastern section makes it recognisable from afar. Tamarisk trees stand directly behind the beach, followed by an unpaved car park and three buildings, the middle one an unfinished shell and the other two housing tavernas.

The beach takes its name from Drymiskos, the village about four kilometres to the north-east in the Lambi municipality; the municipal boundary with Finikas runs just east of the shore. The access road was asphalted in 2020, replacing the earlier track that wound through small gorges from the old bridge over the Megalopotamos. The two tavernas and the small shop exist because of visitors heading to the neighbouring Preveli palm beach.

The name Drymiskiano Ammoudi means "sand beach of Drymiskos", after the village of Drymiskos four kilometres to the north-east, though the shore itself is made of small pebbles mixed with larger stones. Two tavernas and a small shop selling souvenirs and bathing items stand behind the beach, their trade owed to the nearby palm beach of Preveli. A seasonal stream reaches the sea beside the western taverna, its banks thick with vegetation including a few Cretan date palms.

The beach is reached by a signposted, 4 km access road that has been asphalted since 2020; it branches east off the Asomatos–Preveli Monastery road at the Old Bridge over the Megalopotamos. The road winds through small gorges, crosses a tributary of the Megalopotamos and passes the turn-off to Drymiskos before following the stream to the sea. An unpaved car park lies directly behind the tamarisk trees, and the asphalted road continues east to Agia Irini and Kerames.

A marked rock block in the sea in front of the eastern section makes the beach recognisable from a distance. The stream mouth beside the western taverna, usually dry in summer, is lined with lush vegetation including a few Cretan date palms, the species that made neighbouring Preveli beach known.
