Ammoudi, Beach settlement in Agios Vasileios municipality, Greece.

Ammoudi is a cove on Crete's southern coast, about 3 km east of Plakias, with a roughly 100 m long and 50 m wide beach of small pebbles, split in the middle by a large rock slab in shallow water. Low tamarisk trees stand at the back, and the Elliniko stream empties into the sea at the eastern edge.

Ammoudi was recognised as an independent settlement in 1991, when it was attached to the community of Lefkogeia in the province of Agios Vasilios. Under the Kapodistrias programme it was assigned to the municipality of Finikas, and under the Kallikratis programme to the municipality of Agios Vasilios. The 2011 census recorded 2 inhabitants.

The name Ammoudi means "sand beach" in Greek, though the shore is made of small pebbles. A rock slab in the shallow water divides the beach in two, and a snack bar stands under the tamarisk trees on the east side. In low season, part of the beach is used by nude bathers.

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.
