Ammoussa Beach
Ammoussa Beach is located in a quiet and scenic region of Lefkada, surrounded by hills covered in olive groves and cypress trees. The beach is relatively small, but it is known for its characteristic crystal-clear waters, smooth pebbles, stones and stunning views of the surrounding mountains and the nearby islands of Kefalonia and Ithaca. Ithaca is the home of Odysseus.
Ammoussa Beach is a great spot for snorkeling. The crystal-clear waters of the Ionian Sea are home to a diverse range of marine life, including colorful fish, octopuses, and sea urchins, among others. The underwater terrain is also interesting, with rocky formations, small caves, and crevices to explore.
At Ammoussa Beach there is an ideally shaded taverna serving traditional Greek cuisine and fresh seafood. This establishment offer a relaxed and casual atmosphere where visitors can enjoy a leisurely meal or a refreshing drink while enjoying the beautiful view of the Ionian Sea.
