Ammoudi in Santorini is the charming port of Oia, a tiny settlement with just a few traditional buildings built around the natural bay. Approximately 300 narrow and steep steps lead the way between the two regions. The area is encircled by impressive high red cliffs and is considered the most quaint area of Santorini. Fishing and tour boats moor there during the summer, creating a very picturesque scenery. Across the promenade lie traditional taverns serving fresh fish and local dishes. The place also offers great views of the sunsets. Ammoudi beach boasts crystal-clear waters, so it comprises a perfect choice for swimming. Note that it is a non-equipped beach, though. A small rocky beach stands right next to Ammoudi, ideal for snorkeling. For daring visitors, a jumping spot lies at the end of the windy road, after the eating establishments, as well as hot springs. Last but certainly not least, several tour boats stop in Ammoudi on the way to Thirassia islet and the famous volcano.
