The island was at the Monks possession until 1925 when it was given to the Greek refugees that were coming from Proikonissos, in Minor Asia. With fishing as their main occupation the locals got ahead very quickly. Their love and care about the island, their hospitality, the natural beauty and the beautiful beaches made Ammouliani a popular tourist destination.
In our island you can find a lot of café, restaurants, bars, supermarkets and a pharmacy. There are also shops with fishing articles and equipment for the lovers of fishing. There is a rent a motorbike shop too.
