According to the latest statistics, the average stay of visitors in Amorgos is 3-4 days.
The question is: Is this time ideal to get to know the island well?
Three nights stay
When to travel
One of the questions I get a lot is when’s the best season to travel to Amorgos?
My answer is always the same: Amorgos is beautiful all year round, still it’d be best to travel when the conditions in your life favor it.
Chora, Katapola, Aegiali or maybe south?
The elongated shape of Amorgos and the geography of its villages make it easy to cross the island from north to south or vice versa.
What’s winter like in Amorgos? A short story…
The last itinerary of the speedboat, around the middle of October, marks the end of the summer season for the island of Amorgos. The people at the port are few and far between. Tears well up either with nostalgia or with relief that the summer is coming to an end.
Amorgos as a film set
In 1988, French director Luc Besson chose Amorgos as one of the main settings for his subsequently renowned film The Big Blue.
Many years have passed since then and Amorgos is still experiencing the success of this film which attracts thousands of visitors every year.
How to book
I don’t know if it’s the same for you, but for me the process of booking a hotel is one of my favorite things to do while I’m preparing for or already am on a trip.
Family travel
Despite the rocky beaches, small bays and mountain villages, Amorgos remains a fairly popular destination for families.
Driving in Amorgos
The road network of Amorgos is relatively new and well maintained.
The road is quite wide in most places and allows for comfortable driving with nice views of the sea!
Budget travel
Is Amorgos an ideal destination for budget travelers?
Of course it is!
First, during the low season (April, May, October) you can find real bargains mainly in accommodation and car rental.
Motorbike or car
Amorgos is an elongated island where there are things to see and do along its entire length, from north to south.
For this reason the use of a car or ATV or scooter is very useful.
Solo travel
Amorgos is an absolute safe destination for solo travelers.
You can walk in all the villages of the island without feeling the slightest danger.
Responsible tourism
Like all industries, the tourism industry contributes immensely to society and profoundly affects the economic development of humankind, as well as our mental world, but at the same time it inevitably has an environmental impact on the planet.
Pet travel
In recent years, more and more travelers want to enjoy their vacation bringing along their pet.
And having been in those particular traveler shoes, I totally get it and agree 100% with them.
Work remotely from Amorgos
What would you say if you were to write code, draw a business plan or teach from an office with a window overlooking the Aegean?
Weather in Amorgos
The weather in Amorgos is sunny and windy most days of the year.
In spring and autumn the conditions are usually amazing with light winds and mild nights, but also intense humidity.
This is the best time to get acquainted with the beauty of the island through its trails.
Winter in Amorgos
The first question that visitors to Amorgos ask me is if I come from the island.
The second is how Amorgos is in winter.
The big white
This morning was definitely different than usual.
After two days of strong pounding from north winds, whose speed reached up to 125 km in places, snow arrived.
Between two muses
The sculptures of a muse and a princess from the Greek mythology welcome the visitor sat the entrance of the port of Katapola.
Erato stands on the southwest side of the port and Nausikaa on the north.
