Pahia Amos Tris Ekklisies beach is located 200m west of Tris Ekklisies Village and Tries Ekklisies beach, at the southern slopes of Asterousia mountains in Heraklion prefecture and 65 km far from Heraklion city. The main route to Tris Ekklisies area is from Harakas village (Messara plain) - Paranimfi - Tris Ekkllisies.
Behind the big hill west of the dorp, there is a second stunning beach with fine sand, which is completely isolated and surrounded by the largest carob wood in Europe. The beach is called Pahia Ammos. Some locals call it Ornios. There is a short dirt track heading to Pahia Ammos from the Tris Ekklisies Village. West of Pahia Ammos, there are several caves near the coast, with amazing vivid water colors Moreover, sea turtles (Caretta caretta) nest on the beach.
The distance Harakas (Messara plain) - Paranimfi village is 7 kilometers (asphalt) and the distance Paranimfi - Tris Ekkllisies are 12 km (dirt road). Beside Tris Ekkllisies village there is a gorge with a very solid rock, which to pass, climbing needed. The lovely beach at Tris Ekkllisies is one of the crystal clearest beaches in the south of Heraklion Prefecture.
To get there, you need to drive through a dirt road, so we prefer a 4x4 jeep. The view you meet on your way to the beach is amazing. Tris Ekklisies except the beautiful crystal clear waters, you will find rooms and traditional tavernas and cafes. The destination is ideal for those who choose beaches away from the noise.

Τα Αστερούσια είναι μια χαμηλή οροσειρά, που χαρακτηρίζεται από τις απότομες (σχεδόν κάθετες) βουνοπλαγιές και απότελούν το νότιο "φράγμα" της πεδιάδας της Μεσσαράς από τα νότια παράλια της Κρήτης.

800 m out of Paranymfoi, at Aba, it is worth your while to leave your car and walk along a stream lined with oleanders for about 200 m. A breathtaking view unfolds in front of you, down to the coast, beyond the settlement of Tris Ekklisies, and as far as the beach of Koudoumas in the Martelos headland.
Leaving Aba, continue to the south through a varied landscape. You will enjoy the sight of small waterfalls, springs, flocks of goats and sheep and artistically built stone sheepfolds. Not to mention the ubiquitous isolated small chapels that dot the landscape here and there.
Voidomatis beach is the first beach you come to (3km east of the Village), and half a kilometre further on you arrive at Tris Ekklisies where you can find rooms to stay and several tavernas where they serve fresh fish and traditional Cretan dishes. You will also find the traditional Greek kapheneion on the beach. To the west lies the beautiful sandy beach of Pachia Ammos.
On your way back to Paranimfi, dont forget to visit the chapel of Aghios Pavlos with its 14th century wall paintings.
