A paradise for explorers, divers, and hikers, Amorgos, with its small bays, mountain paths, and all-white churches, is the ideal destination for an alternative Cycladic holiday. The island is known for its wild beauty and it shot to fame as the backdrop for the film “The Big Blue”, which was shot on the island over three decades ago, forever changing its future. More recently, the dramatic landscape has inspired other foreign directors and producers to shoot films with international appeal such as the German “Tochter” (2021) and the French “Les Cyclades” (2022).

Although it has gained worldwide fame, in turn attracting many visitors, it remains an unconventional destination perfect for a peaceful holiday. There is nightlife but those who visit Amorgos are not searching for excessive entertainment, preferring to drink their coffee in traditional coffee-shops in the company of the locals, eat handmade delicacies in the taverns, and enjoy their cocktails under the starry sky.
