Ammoudi

Ammoudi is a beach settlement along the coast where shallow waters meet the Acheron River before flowing into the Mediterranean. The sandy shore provides space for swimming and water-based activities.

This location connects to ancient Greek mythology, as the Acheron River was believed to lead to the underworld in classical times. This mythological significance shaped how the coastal area has been understood and named.

Local fishermen use these waters as part of their daily work, and waterfront taverns prepare fresh seafood from their catches throughout the day. This connection between the beach and fishing traditions shapes how residents interact with the space.

The beach offers sunbeds, umbrellas, and water sports equipment rentals, with parking available near the shore. Water conditions can vary depending on whether you are closer to the river mouth or open sea.

Where the river meets the sea, water temperatures and conditions shift throughout the day based on currents and flow patterns. This natural variation allows different experiences in a compact area.
