General Reviews about Amorgos, Cyclades, Greece |
Amorgos is an astonishing massif of rocky mountains. There aren't too many beaches but there are a few secluded with small pebbles and clean water. Amorgos is well connected by a network of hiking trails that are frequented by donkey riders. We actually toured most of the island on foot. I would... More >
Not comfortable ferry trips from Athens to Amorgos in June and in bad hours, very early in the morning or late at night (maybe better schedules in high season??), but the island is so much worth the effort.
A great place for lazy people like me who want to lay on the beach, eat a lot of good... More >
Amorgos is the perfect island for hiking. We found several hiking paths on the Internet but we tried only the easy routes because we are beginners in walking. So, we went from Chora to Agia Anna and the Monastery on foot, which took about 1 hour. I believe these three spots are the most beautiful... More >

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... More >

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... More >
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... More >

Amorgos was worth the long trip from South Africa and the many ferry hours from Athens. The island is very beautiful, a true paradise for everyone! Aegiali in particular is a charming village, very picturesque. The beaches were fantastic. The island is quiet which suited us very well. After all, we... More >
Chora is the nicest village and very quite. I miss its narrow streets, the granies in the yards and the sun that was burning all day. if you go in midday in Chora, you will find nobody in the streets or the square, except perhaps from a few tourists walking up and down. All locals go to sleep at... More >
Amorgos is a very nice island and unspoilt. The visit to Hozoviotissa Monastery was worth the rocky passage up to it. Chora had lovely shops and the beach at Kalotaritisa was great. Also watch the sunset from the Minoan Site at Katapola. I loved the moments to be at the harbor enjoying a frappe or... More >
