Petalides Beach (Kourountere) on Samos

Petalides (Kourountere) Beach lies on the northern coast of Samos in the wider Ampelos area. It is a long natural shoreline with road access and a less developed character, suited to visitors who prefer open scenery and more space.

🏖️ A long natural coastline

The shore extends for a considerable distance and includes mixed areas of pebbles, stones and rocks. Trees and some residences are found in the wider area.

🌊 Moderate-depth water

Water is of moderate depth in several places, although the seabed is not uniform. Check the entry point carefully before swimming.

🌬️ Exposed to northern swell

The area receives waves directly from the north. Strong meltemi winds can make the sea demanding, while calm days reveal clean water.

☀️ Limited organisation

Permanent facilities, lifeguard cover, showers or a kiosk should not be assumed. Bring water, shade and essentials.

🚗 Road access

The beach can be reached from the northern coastal route and Ampelos area. Local road quality and parking conditions may vary.

📷 A landscape for exploration

The long coast, trees and rocky sections create attractive scenery. Avoid slippery or exposed areas when waves are present.

💡 Useful tip

Check wind and waves, wear water shoes and avoid swimming during strong northern swell.
