Rent a small motorboat from the local beach to explore the 'Hidden Beach' or nearby coves.
Amoudi is a great spot to watch the sunrise over the sea towards the Peloponnese.
Most tavernas in Amoudi are family-run; ask for the 'catch of the day' for the freshest experience.

Amoudi is a serene and photogenic coastal village located on the northeastern shores of Zakynthos, one of Greece's most beautiful Ionian Islands. Escaping the heavy crowds often found in the island's larger resort towns, Amoudi provides a peaceful sanctuary characterized by lush green olive groves that roll gently down to the sea. It is an idyllic destination for those seeking a relaxing, slow-paced holiday immersed in authentic Greek island charm. The focal point of the village is the pristine Amoudy Beach (also locally known simply as Αμμούδι), which translates to "sandy beach" in Greek. This beautiful stretch features soft sand mixed with fine pebbles and shelves gently into the warm, incredibly clear, turquoise waters of the Ionian Sea. It is an exceptionally safe and inviting spot for families with young children, as well as for snorkelers eager to explore the spirited underwater world. Despite its quiet nature, Amoudi provides all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay, including a selection of traditional tavernas serving delicious Zakynthian cuisine. The village serves as a great starting point for exploring the wider island. With its captivating sunrises, Amoudi captures the true essence of a Mediterranean retreat.
