Ammouliani Island - Halkidiki

A small island a great time - Ammouliani island

True heaven on earth, with well-hidden secrets, spreads across just 4.5 square kilometres. The settlement of Ammouliani is built amphitheatrically with beautiful tile roofs, captain houses with blooming gardens and alleys that lead to the seaside. Just a walk in the sheltered port with its colourful fishing boats and narrow streets of Chora is all you need to discover that the only inhabited island of Halkidiki travels you back to times past.

Going up its steep alleys, you will come to the picturesque village square, where you will find the church of St. Nicholas, built-in 1865 with its Byzantine icons, its Athonite templon, its holy relics and treasures, and with the feeling of humility dominant in this space, it will give you the impression of actually being at Mount Athos. Here, you will also find the island’s folklore museum, with numerous exhibits bearing testimony to the land’s history and heritage. From there, you can enjoy a magnificent panorama looking out to the majestic volume of Athos, surrounded by the sea.
