Ammoudara, Crete Greece

Ammoudara is a long beach that starts at the River Giofyros, 1 km west of the centre of Heraklion, and stretches to the mouth of the River Almyros, 7 km further west. Ammoudara is now a suburb of Heraklion, attracting thousands of visitors every year, mainly because of its long sandy beach. The beach has fine, light-brown sand, and there is a rocky strip about 50 m from the shore running parallel to the beach, marking the ancient coastline.
