Ammoudi

Ammoudi is a tiny port located nearly 300 steps below Oia. It's a nice walk down but you do have to watch the donkey dung. The climb back up isn't as bad as you'd think.

Boats bobbing in Ammoudi Bay.

There are numerous tavernas at the water's edge. We chose Ammoudi Fish Tavern because it was the top-rated restaurant in Ammoudi. At the base of the steps, turn right. We had our hotel call ahead to reserve a table at the water's edge.

Octopus hanging to dry.

Nice view of the red cliffs of Oia from our table.

Toasted Bread with Olives--€2

Agiorgitiki Eggplant Salad--Baked white aubergines with garlic, onion and parsley, extra virgin olive oil--€5.50. Delicious. It wasn't served with any bread so the toasted bread we ordered helped.

Saganaki Mussels--€12. This was also delicious although it was not a huge portion.

Sun-dried Octopus, Grilled--€14. This had great flavor and was the right chewiness.

Linguine with Seafood--€19.50. Another delicious dish but again not a huge dish.

Loukoumades with ice cream--complimentary dessert.

Ammoudi Fish Tavern was worth the walk down to the port. We had just enough food with 2 appetizers, 2 entrees and the complimentary loukoumades.
