The steep island of the Big Blue, Amorgos combines epic views of the Aegean with the best features of the Cyclades… great beaches, local traditions and laid-back villages.
Many have dropped by Amorgos: pirates, 19th-century travellers, 70s hippies and locals from other Cyclades islands who sought oracles from the “chattering waters” of Ai Giorgis Varsamitis. But now it’s your time to discover an island whose venerable traditions, old paths and remote villages will make you forget the 20th century, never mind the 21st.

Making a pilgrimage to Agia Anna beach, where Luc Besson shot The Big Blue, is a must. As is lighting a candle in the awe-inspiring Monastery of Panagia Hozoviotissa and walking up to the castle-topped main town, with its cobblestone Cycladic streets.

Other highlights on Amorgos include taking a boat ride from Katapola or Aigiali, the island’s two ports, and sipping nightcaps of rakomelo, the homemade honeyed firewater.
