What to do on Amorgos island
This is perhaps the most unusual monastery in the Aegean and one of the most significant sights on Amorgos. Impossibly tall and narrow, it seems painted onto the sheer rockface at first sight. In reality, it’s slotted into it. You’ll have to climb 300 steep steps, enter through a narrow door and make it up a further eight storeys, each one only 5 metres wide. When you reach the main 1,000-year-old church, adorned with Byzantine icons of the Virgin Mary, you’ll know it was worth the effort. The view is the best in Amorgos.
