Reasons to Visit Amorgos

The island of Amorgos is totally off the beaten track. It has no airport. There are no hotel resorts.

Amorgos is popular among young, educated, alternative Greeks. It has awesome hiking routes and beautiful dive sites. In fact, it was one of the filming locations for Luc Besson's Le Grand Bleu (The Big Blue).

In terms of accommodation, you can enjoy inexpensive, high quality BnB's or camping. There is free camping on one of the three secluded beaches a half hour from Aegiali.

I visited about ten islands and the mainland solo and I found Amorgos to be the most authentic island, yet with a feel of cosmopolitan culture with plenty of music events, and all sorts of artists. The food was incredible, unlike some other islands which mostly served frozen mass produced food to feed the swarms of tourists.
