Overview
Amorgos is a small, less-visited Cycladic island offering dramatic landscapes, the cliffhanging Hozoviotissa monastery, and secluded beaches like Aghia Anna. The island appeals to hikers on marble-glazed donkey paths, seekers of traditional Greek island life, and those escaping crowded tourist hotspots.
