Amorgos
– Top Yachting Destination
Amorgos
is close to Leros, Ikaria and Kalymnos, Naxos and Paros, which means
a tailor-made itinerary will give you a perfect mix of exclusive
experiences. Ferries to the island are infrequent, which means you
will have the pick of many beauty spots. The southeast coast
comprises cliffs that plunge into the sea, but the northwest offers
gentle mooring in the sheltered bays of Katapola and Aegiali.
Amorgos
– Things to Do
Breathe
in the scent of oleander as you wander up the cobbled road to
Hozoviotissa. Startling white and built into a cliff face,
Hozoviotissa is the second oldest monastery in Greece, built in 1017.
Step into its cool interior and quench your thirst with water, coffee
or raki, then head to the top terrace for stunning views of the
turquoise Aegean Sea. Agia Anna - the setting for much of The Big
Blue - lies below the monastery. With its small, secluded pebble
beach and brilliant water, it’s the perfect place to swim, snorkel
and unwind with loved ones. Mourou Beach is great for snorkelling and
caving, but if you prefer a more organised beach outing, Aegiali
offers sun loungers, sand, tavernas and bars.
Amorgos
– Gourmet Experience
It’s
all about balance in Amorgos, where you can pamper yourself with
fresh, healthy food and then dive into a staggering array of
delicious desserts. Amorgis in Aegiali is all about fresh, local
ingredients: squeezed juices, smoothies and scrumptious omelettes.
Capetan Dimos in Katapola is an authentic, family-run restaurant with
traditional live music, proper moussaka and Greek pizza while
Kallisto in the main town serves unbelievable desserts, from
artisanal ice-cream to lemon and fruit pies.
Amorgos
– Nightlife
Aegiali,
Katapola and the capital, Hora, have a selection of relaxed, vibey
spots. Bayoko
in the main town is a great place for a sundowner – the
cinnamon-flavoured pismeni raki is popular. In Katapola, Le Grand
Bleu bar pays homage to The Big Blue with screenings of the movie and
seductive blue lighting. In Aegiali, Nissi Café Restaurant is right
on the sand while Disco The Que beach café offers a range of music,
including live performances by local artists.
