It's been many years since I first visited Amorgos (eight years to be punctual!!) and every time I go back and I see the ferry docking, I have this strange sense that I am returning home.
I come to Greece almost every summer since 1998 and I have seen many lovely Greek islands, but
Amorgos is something else, something like a fairyland, like the unknown land where the knights go to rest when they are tired from saving so many innocent princesses!!!
Do not expect anything from Amorgos and the island will give you all. Every step you set from the port to the inland is like moving to another space, like deepening in the heart of paradise. If there is a paradise on earth, then mine is in Amorgos.
Every summer, I go for at least two weeks and these days are enough to relax and spend winter, waiting for the next summer. Trekking to the monastery and Agia Anna is a favourite activity. Just try it early in the morning. At noon, it is too hot and in the afternoon, the night night trap you and as there are no lights in the streets, you will find it hard to come back.
The two edges of Amorgos (north and south) are the least developed and expect nobody to ruin your privacy there, even in the middle of summer. For good fish, Aegiali and Katapola are the typical places and for a walk, you will love Chora. Please, don't tell other people how amazing Amorgos is, let us be the only to hold this secret!!
