Τσαμαδού

Tsamadou Beach sits on the northern shore of Samos, reached on foot from parking above and by seasonal boat in summer. Stay on established paths for the downhill walk, wear secure footwear for the slope and pebbles, and allow time for the climb back. Boat arrivals add traffic near the shore, so keep clear of landing areas when swimming. Parking is above the beach rather than at water level, which shapes the rhythm of a visit around a few hours of swimming and a taverna meal. Public transport is limited, so plan arrival and departure around the seasonal boat schedule or private transport. The beach surface is pebbles, both on shore and at the water entry. Footwear helps, and a mat or thick towel improves comfort. Water is generally clear and suited to swimming, though wind and season affect calmness. Mornings are often calmer with softer sun, while afternoons bring stronger sun and more visitors. June to September brings warmer sea conditions and busier use. There is limited natural shade, and summer sun is strong especially midday, so bring sun protection, water, and a shade option if staying long. Facilities are seasonal and concentrated in the central textile section. Seasonal tavernas provide food and drinks, with optional sunbed rental nearby. Basic toilets and showers are near these central facilities, with limited provision at the edges. There is no admission fee for the open beach; charges apply only for optional sunbed rental and food. Lifeguards may not be present, so swim within ability, watch wind changes, and keep distance from boats. Dogs are not generally expected on the busy seasonal shore. Suitability for families depends on the walk, pebble shore, open water, and mixed naturist use at the edges.
