Ammoudia near Parga in Greece |
|
|
Twenty kilometers south of Parga on the Greek mainland, at the mouth of the river Styx, lies the fine tourist resort of Ammoudia.
The beach in Ammoudia is extremely shallow and child-friendly.
The child-friendly beach stretches along the entire bay, the sand is powder fine and golden brown and it is shallow as in a sink. It doesn't matter how far you walk, the water rarely reaches above your knees anyway. The easiest way to get wet is to run until you fall, and then stay where you fell.
The mouth of the River Styx begins in Ammoudia. |

Along the river Styx (or Acheron as it is officially called) are some fish taverns. From Ammoudia several trips up the river depart daily. Longer tours that include the River Styx also depart from Parga. From Ammoudia, it is then just a stone's throw to Hades' kingdom of death, the Necromanteion.
The long child-friendly sandy beach of Ammoudia.
South of Ammoudia, along the road towards Preveza, the beaches are in a long row. It almost does not matter where you turn off, you are guaranteed to arrive at a sandy beach. Along the coastline there are also several tourist resorts, including Vrahos whose beach is probably the longest I have seen.
