Tsamadou beach is one of the most stunning beaches in Samos.
Offering easy access and located just 2 km west of Kokkari and 13 km from Samos town.
Nestled along the island’s northern coast, this beautiful beach is surrounded by lush pine and olive trees that extend down to the sea, creating a mesmerizing blend of green and blue hues.
The beach features pebbles and deep, crystal-clear waters, making it ideal for swimming. Well-organized with umbrellas and sunbeds, Tsamadou is also the only official nudist beach in Samos and one of the most renowned in Greece.
Despite being exposed to northern winds, the bay’s natural formation keeps the waters mostly calm, with only gentle waves on windier days. Visitors can find beachside tavernas and bars offering delicious food and refreshing drinks, while accommodation options are available nearby.
Getting to Tsamadou is easy by bus, car, or motorcycle. Parking is available about 200 meters from the shore, followed by a short scenic path with steps leading down to the beach.
