Orthi Ammos is sandy and shallow beach at the edge of a big valley with very warm climate. The beach is affected by south winds, but not too much. The east part of the beach is usually occupied by nudists. There are a very few accommodation and food amenities, but no sunbeds and water sport services.
According to the legend, the sand of Orthi Ammos covered the unburried bodies of the 335 greek heroes that fought against Turks during the Battle of Frangokastello (17 May 1828). The spirits of these heroes are the legendary Drosoulites, the famous "ghosts" of Frangokastelo.
