Amorgos Holidays, 5 – 8 days

Dedicate your morning to visiting the iconic Monastery of Panagia Hozoviotissa. Climb the steep stone steps to this 11th-century cliffside marvel, where the monks will welcome you with traditional loukoumi and unparalleled views of the Aegean. In the afternoon, head just below the monastery to the rocky coves of Agia Anna for a refreshing swim in its famous deep, crystal-clear waters. Conclude your day with a relaxing dinner back in Chora.

Begin your day by driving to the rugged southern part of the island (Kato Meria). Stop at Liveros Bay to photograph the famous Shipwreck of Olympia, stranded there since 1980. Next, head to the stunning Mouros beach to swim and explore its fascinating sea caves. In the afternoon, rest your legs and enjoy a hearty meal at a traditional hillside eatery in Arkesini, sampling local specialties like patatato (slow-cooked goat with potatoes).

Embark on a morning journey to the ruins of Ancient Minoa, perched on a hill above Katapola, to dive into the island’s rich past. Later, drive north towards Aegiali to explore the picturesque mountain villages of Tholaria and Langada. Walk the scenic, stone-paved trails connecting these settlements, surrounded by aromatic herbs and sweeping sea views. Enjoy a relaxed evening dinner in Aegiali, right by the water.

Spend your final morning walking along the peaceful shores of Aegiali or the beautiful sandy beach of Kalotaritissa in the far south. These sheltered bays and crystal-clear waters are incredibly atmospheric and tranquil. Stroll past the quiet coastline, picking up authentic local souvenirs like organic herbs or pasteli before relaxing with a final frappe or Greek coffee by the port, soaking in the island vibes one last time before heading to the ferry for your departure.
