5Amorgos – The Island of Deep Blue

Amorgos gained fame through the cult film The Big Blue, and its waters truly deserve the name. The island’s rugged cliffs plunge dramatically into cobalt seas, creating one of the most striking landscapes in the Cyclades.

The Monastery of Hozoviotissa, built into a sheer cliff face, is an architectural wonder with a view that seems to touch the sky. Amorgos is perfect for hikers, divers, and those drawn to raw natural beauty. Despite its cinematic fame, it remains refreshingly authentic, with family-run tavernas and charming stone villages where time slows down.
