Amorgos

The Secret Jewel of the Cyclades ©

The Island is just 18 miles long and 5 miles across at its widest and is the last port of call for the ships on the Cyclades run from Athens. There are a small number of hotels and pensions to stay in varying in standards and price but there is one particular small hotel, The Pagali, which is quite exceptional for a secluded island with so little tourism.

The remote location, excellent walking, the opportunity of peaceful activities and this comfortable charming hotel with its own unique taverna make these programmes an ideal holiday for those who enjoy the outdoor life. Enjoy the mountains and valleys whether it be for walking, photography, botany, painting or ornithology and discover Greece of old but at the same time enjoy the comforts of life. The variety of sites and experiences are endless.

Very few visitors to Amorgos get to see the most remarkable sights here, as they have to be visited by donkey or on foot. It is quite extraordinary walking terrain but a local guide is essential. Some routes are not too difficult to find but often interesting and fascinating historical sites dating back to 5BC, of which people are unaware, lurk just around the corners . We take you where only the goat herds tread, and beyond!

You can enjoy the clearest, deepest, blue sea one can imagine. Sparkling turquoise shallow waters lap onto fine sand or white pebble beaches. Mountains which are a carpet of colour in the spring, and a sensory delight as they give off the most wonderful scent in the dry heat of summer.
