Travel attractions in Santorini? Amoudi Bay is a small fishing village located below Oia. You can get there walking down the 300 steps stairway starting from Oia. You can also drive there, but if you do, don’t go to the end of the road, as it’s difficult to turn back. Just park your car along the road and finish on foot. From Amoudi, the view of the ochre cliffs and Oia is really beautiful. There are also a few nice taverns and restaurants on the seaside. It’s perfect if you like fresh fishes! And, if you want to take a dip in the sea, follow the trail after the restaurants. You will find a nice place to swim and dive into the water. Read more information at Santorini beaches.
The bricked-in entrance opening is equipped with a door and a pair of windows – one on each side. Usually there is another small window above the door. The apartment in the cave usually consisted of two rooms, arranged one after the other. The first (front) room served as a living room, and the second – a bedroom (sometimes in the back there were two bedrooms). The rooms were separated by a wall with doors and windows, that looked the same as the facade of the building. This provided access to daylight and fresh air to the interior room. Apart from the part located in the tunnel, sometimes there was an annex with a semi-circular roof near the house. The household also included a bathroom (with a separate entrance from the outside), a small kitchen (located at the back, of the main room – living room) and a utility room. The small courtyard, equipped with a rainwater tank, was surrounded by a low wall and decorated with flower beds.
