The asphalt road connecting Oia to Ammoudi was constructed in 1991.Nowadays, most people come to Ammoudi to eat at the fish taverns by the seaside, or swim at the inlet with the tiny pebbles. For a quick swim you can also try the rocks behind the lighthouse or rent a boat to the next –equally small– beach of Armeni, or Aghios Nikolaos, where the water is really crystalline.
