Ammoudi Beach

Catch the sun at this remote beach with crystal clear water and pure white sand – it’s no wonder Ammoudi beach is popular for snorkeling with its abundance of diverse, tropical fish. Located in a beautiful, tiny cove with fishing boats lying in the ocean, Ammoudi is one of the most picturesque sites of Santorini. While floating in the refreshing waters, you can gaze at the breathtaking Oia settlement hanging on the caldera on the staggering sheer, red cliffs. For those who are seeking adventure, visit the scuba diving center to explore the beautiful marine life. If you’re traveling with your significant other, this is the perfect spot for peaceful, romantic strolls. Looking for a restaurant that serves local seafood? Stop by one of the several fish taverns along the waterfront to taste delicious, fresh fish and unwind to the sound of waves softly crashing onto the shore. If your ideal accommodation is family-oriented and includes home-cooked meals and views of picturesque bays, Ammoudi Hotel would be perfect for you. Those who prefer a more luxurious apartment style accommodation may enjoy the Plakias Resort, where you can find your home away from home in one of the newly renovated, clean rooms right across from the beach. If you wish to learn more about the region from a guide and sample Cretan cuisine with unlimited wine, consider going on a Crete Land Rover safari with lunch and drinks for less than $100! For those who want to explore areas of Crete’s northern coast with an off-road quad safari, try using a travel package that’s dedicated to looking for native wildlife and experiencing Cretan culture in villages that date back to the Middle Ages.
