Ammoudi Beach
What to Do
- 🏊♂️ Swimming and Sunbathing: The beach is suitable for swimming, though there are just rocks and no sand. It’s a great spot to sunbathe and take a quick dip to cool off when exploring Oia. Wear shoes as the rocks can be rough on bare feet.
- 📷 Photography: Capture incredible photos of the colorful water against the whitewashed buildings of Oia perched along the cliffs above. Early morning or sunset is best for stunning images.
- 🚶♀️Scenic Walks: Follow walking trails leading to secluded spots with breathtaking views of the sea and surrounding landscape.
