About this tour
This evening session covers Ammoudi Bay, the small fishing harbour reached by steps down from Oia. Panos shows the steep path down before finishing at the row of tavernas built right at the water's edge. He explains how closely the harbour's restaurants still work with the boats moored beside them.
Panos checks his connection at the top of the steps before the walk down, keeping the camera steady on the uneven path. He answers questions about the tavernas and the fishing boats once he reaches the harbour. A short list of what was seen follows the call.
This suits travellers who want to see where Oia's seafood actually comes from. It also works well as an evening session before or after watching the sunset above.
Included
- Live video session with a local guide
- A close look at the dishes and where locals buy them
- A short list of places and dishes to try later
Not included

Panos walks the stepped path down from Oia to the small harbour of Ammoudi, the camera catching the cliff rising sharply above the water below.
