Ammouliani Island
Αμμουλιανή
A small island near the gateway to Mount Athos, and the most popular beach destination around Ouranoupoli, with white sand and clear water.
The island once belonged to Vatopedi Monastery. After refugees from Asia Minor were resettled here in the 1920s, it developed into a fishing village. Beaches such as Alykes and Agios Georgios have pale sand and shallow water, making them good for family swimming and snorkeling, and the island has a number of seafood tavernas. The car ferry from Tripiti port takes about 10 minutes, with frequent departures in peak season. Day boat trips from Ouranoupoli are also available.
Opening hours
Open all day; ferries roughly every 30–60 minutes
