A jewel in the Aegean, the easternmost of the Cycladic Islands, it has an evocative beauty, and is remarkably unspoilt. Swimming and plenty of remarkable walks, which give you views to the smaller Cycladic Islands to the north and west. It is a dreamy place, a place to rest and let yourself be taken by a traditional, intimate and quiet life of the island.

The Byzantine monastery of Virgin Mary Chozoviotissa is one of the top attractions of Amorgos island.

It was built in 1088 on a rock 100ft over the sea, and is a typical monument of Byzantine architecture.

Located near to Chora.

Amorgos...what a natural paradise! It is off the beaten track, it is getting famous due to the fact that Luc Besson shot his movie Le Gran Bleu there. This kind of accommodation is perfect if you want to stay in the middle of the island.

Egiali, at the top of the island, is extremely quiet and friendly with just a couple of shops and a handful of restaurants. There are decent rooms and a really good campsite to stay in, all within 5 minutes of a quiet beach with good swimming.

There is a lovely morning's triangular walk to the two nearest villages, Tholaria and Langada. Katarina restaurant in Langada serves THE BEST TARAMASALATA ON THE PLANET.

You can get boats directly from Piraeus to Katapola at the south of the island. Egiali Camping sends a minibus on spec and I'm sure a lot of the private rooms in Egiali do too. You can get the 'Skopelitis Express' from Naxos straight to Egiali, but it is slow.
