Potami Beach

Potami beach is located 30 kilometers northwest of Vathi, near the village of Karlovasi. In fact, the villagers often frequent this beach and you will be able to meet them several times and maybe get to know them.
In its 730 meters in length it has the shape of a 3, very particular, due to the thin sand tongue that re-enters the sea. It boasts crystal clear and turquoise waters, pebbles with some stretch of sand and a very interesting surrounding landscape characterized by cliffs and green mountains rich in vegetation. In addition to an incredibly relaxing peace! So if you are looking for a place where "relaxation" is the word of the day, this is the place for you.
The sea can often be a little rough and its seabed degrades fairly quickly, so we recommend paying attention to the little ones. But for snorkelers the sea that bathes the bay is excellent, as inside its waters you can admire thousands of fish of all different colors!

Potami beach offers several services: you can rent sunbeds and umbrellas, use bathrooms, showers and changing rooms and when you get hungry you could stop to enjoy a good dish of Greek food or fish based in the excellent tavern on the beach.

Beyond the beach

The name Potami derives from "Potami Kastanias" or the name of the river that flows nearby. Check it out when you get to the beach. And since you're there, don't miss: the river waterfalls located 2 kilometers from the bay, the oldest church on the island of Samos, that of Metamorfosis and another splendid church with architecture to be admired and panoramic views unique, that of San Nicola.
