Water Taxis in Amorgos

Water taxis are small boats that allow you to get to more secluded beaches that most of the time are only available via sea.
In Amorgos, three water taxis operate throughout summer and transfer visitors to charming beaches with crystal-clear waters. Taking a water taxi at least once during your holiday in Amorgos is recommended, as the experience is rather unique and the tickets are quite affordable.
