Your Holiday in Amorgos

Amorgos Greece is located in the Aegean sea and belongs to the Cyclades islands group. In spite of being a quiet island, Amorgos island became popular thanks to Luc Besson’s movie “The big blue”, which was filmed there!

Chora Amorgos, the island’s capital, is one of the most beautiful villages in Amorgos. It is located in the center of the island, insulated by rocky hills and boasts a scenic setting! Wandering in Chora Amorgos, you’ll come across traditional whitewashed houses with colorful shutters, narrow alleys, embellished with flowers, an imposing Venetian Castle, beautiful churches and little taverns. A stroll around Chora Amorgos is a dream!

When the night comes, head to the island’s traditional taverns to have shots of homemade “rakomelo”, a local alcoholic beverage and taste yummy local delicacies, such as “ladotyri” (local cheese), “kserotigana” (fried pies) and “patatato” (goat with potatoes).

The most popular site of the island is Panagia Hozoviotissa, an impressive Amorgos monastery, perched on a rocky cliff above the sea! This 10th-century cliffside monastery boasts a wonderful traditional architecture, while it has a seductive view of the Aegean sea. It’s the perfect spot to watch the sunset from!

And what can we say about Amorgos beaches? They are simply gorgeous, with crystal clear waters and glistening sand. The best Amorgos beaches are Aegialis Amorgos, Amorgos Katapola, Agia Anna beach and Agios Pavlos beach.

One thing is for sure: Amorgos will blow you away!
