About Ammoudi Bay

Ammoudi is reached by around 300 steps down from Oia or by road. There is no beach, but strong swimmers jump from the rocks into deep water, and the quayside tavernas serve some of the best fish on the island. Leave energy for the climb back up.

Why it's on our list

  • Rock swimming
  • Quayside fish tavernas
  • Steep climb back

Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with Ammoudi Bay before you go.
