8Amorgos – The Island of Deep Blue

Amorgos, known for its unspoiled beauty and spiritual atmosphere, offers one of the most genuine island experiences in Greece. The island rose to fame with Luc Besson’s film The Big Blue, but its charm lies far beyond cinematic fame. The locals here live in harmony with the rugged landscape, and hospitality remains heartfelt.

The Monastery of Hozoviotissa, clinging to the cliffs high above the sea, embodies the island’s serenity. Villages like Langada and Tholaria offer small tavernas where locals share meze, laughter, and homemade rakomelo. There’s no rush on Amorgos—only the rhythm of wind, sea, and simple pleasures.
