Amorgos is a part of the island group called Cyclades, so it keeps up the architecture and the culture of Cyclades. Small white houses with blue painted doors and windows, windmills and slip roads that can get you lost in minutes are the main attributes of
Amorgos. Very easy to get there from Piraeus, but also from the near by islands.
Amorgos is not too crowdy and crazy as some of the other islands in the group, such as Mykonos, but it still gets lots of tourists, during the summer. We spend most of our time in the beach, usually in Aegiali. Chora is the capital of Amorgos and I strongly believe that is the imposing castle above the town is the main attraction of the island.
Before leaving, don't forget to try Amorgion. Amorgion is a traditional drink, exclusively made by the locals. Nowadays, you can find Amorgion, mixed with lemon, orange, mastic or honey... which is pretty close to cretan rakomelo and of course sweet and tasty.
