It's not a secret, that we decided to visit Amorgos, after watching Big Blue. Although
Amorgos is in a short distance from islands of mass tourism, such as Mykonos, the island is truly unspoiled from tourism, even in the places that are considered as tourist attractions of Amorgos. We stayed 10 days in Aegiali, just because we were amazed by the colors of the water and the beach, from the pictures we saw before booking. We were not disappointed. Aegiali beach is a beautiful, long, sandy beach with stunning water color. Deep blue, light blue, blur green, you can never get enough of it!
As we stayed there in August, we thought it's an opportunity to visit one of the local events on 15th of August. Greeks have events and local festivals almost everywhere that day, with live Greek, traditional music, dance, lots of drinks and local delicacies. One of the biggest fairs on the island is the celebration of Virgin Mary Hozoviotisa on the same day. We were told that this is the biggest fair on the island. This was an unexpected experience! You cannot be to a local Greek fair everyday! Hundreds of people, locals and tourists mixed, lots of drinking and lots of food! Some of it was free of charge from the locals. Mostly a mix of potatoes and meat, and lots of red wine.
