Ambeli & Valsamo Coves (Folegandros)

36° 39.0′ N · 24° 50.8′ E

Two small pebble coves near the north-west tip below Ano Meria, sheltered from the summer north wind, with clear water that is good for snorkelling.

Practical

Position is Ambeli on folegandros.gr; Valsamo Bay is just west, at 36.6502N 24.8439E. Reach them by a 30-minute path or a 10-minute dirt road from Ano Meria. The tourism site lists N, E, SE and SW as good winds. No services. No cruising-guide anchoring data found, so treat them as a calm-weather swim stop and sound carefully.
