History
During the Axis occupation Ammoudia was among the villages targeted by a joint German-Cham Albanian armed operation in August 1943.[3]
A primary school Greek teacher (Socrates Georgoulas) who taught in the area in the 1960s noted in a report he compiled for the Hellenic Folklore Research Centre that in 1964 that most inhabitants of the village spoke Albanian, Albanian: Spllancë) and had no knowledge of Greek.[4]
