Amoudi Bay

The bay is small but packed with charm, featuring a handful of waterfront restaurants serving fresh seafood and local specialties. It’s also a popular spot for cliff diving and snorkeling, with crystal-clear waters perfect for swimming. Amoudi Bay offers a front-row seat to Santorini’s legendary sunsets, making it an ideal location for a romantic dinner or an evening stroll.

To reach Amoudi Bay, you’ll need to descend about 300 steep steps from Oia or drive down a narrow, winding road. Comfortable shoes are essential if you’re walking, and be prepared to encounter donkeys along the path. There are no sandy beaches at Amoudi Bay, so bring water shoes if you plan to swim. Many restaurants require reservations during peak season, so plan ahead to secure a table with the best views.

Amoudi Bay is located directly below Oia and can be reached by foot, car, or taxi. Walking down the steps takes about 10–15 minutes, but the climb back up can be strenuous. If you’re driving, parking is limited, especially during summer. Many boat tours and excursions also stop at Amoudi Bay, providing another convenient way to visit.
