About Amorgos:
Amorgos, known as The Hidden Gem of the Aegean, is an island with small traditional villages and crystal water beaches. The coastline is extremely rocky with sheer cliffs. The impressive Hozoviotissa Monastery, built in 1088, is wedged in the rock at 300 meters from the sea.
Hora, the medieval capital of Amorgos is a must see. The best sunsets are observed from the Kastro, remains of a Venetian fort.
The best way to get to know this low key island is to hike from the labyrinth alleys to the splendor of the sea.,
Amorgos is perfect for spending a great vacation without the crowds.
The island was featured in the film The Big Blue by Luc Besson

  • Great period for me and my son in this nice house. the panorama is brethtaking, the house is simple, chic and full of details, the picture do not describes how beautiful is the place!! nothing you could need is missed. we wanted to stay at least other 2 weeks!! the 2 friends of the owner that take care of the house and come to pick you at the port are great and you can count on them all the time for every need. (she also has 2 nice shops in Katapola and Vroutsi) so....I made a great choice renting this house!!!

  • We visited this lovely house in Chora the last week of July 2009. The house is as described, spotlessly clean, beautifully renovated and looked after. The views are even better than in the photos and the whole place has a magical and timeless quality amidst the backdrop of the mountains, picturesque village and the sea. The house is quiet and private yet very convenient to shops and the excellent restaurants which are welcoming and good value. Our stay was unfortunately too short as you can spend a couple of days just wandering around, exploring and appreciating the charm of the village. It is perfect if you like a bit of variety to your holiday, hiking, music, eating, swimming, history, sightseeing etc. The scenery is absolutely stunning and there is the option of renting a car or just hopping on the regular buses that go to all parts of the island. We were met at the boat and delivered safely to the house by very helpful(English speaking) and welcoming friends of the owners who were on hand throughout our stay if needed. We highly recommend this house as a comfortable base to discover the captivating island of Amorgos and we hope to return one day.

  • This house is a little gem. It is situated in the village of Chora, but is at the same time detached from it, so that the spectacle of the whitewashed Cyclades houses under the Venetian fort can be enjoyed from the house's terrace. The high elevation produces views of the Cyclades to the West as well as beautiful sunsets. The house sits just below a rocky ridge from which a path goes down the other (Eastern) side to Ayia Anna beach. It's certainly walkable, especially if you plan to walk back up when the cliff is out of reach of the (late afternoon) sun. Highly recommended: you'll have quiet and scenic beauty and very stylish accommodation.

  • We were fortunate to stay in this delightful traditional home with modern amenities in August of 2007. The pictures of both the views and the house are simply not sufficient to capture how beautiful the place truly is...for example, opposite the castle are the remains of windmills perched directly on the hill behind you. Think Don Quijote in Greece! The home itself is charming and a short stroll into the unspoiled town where you'll find good restaurants and shops. Four of us stayed quite comfortably in the house (two adults and two small children). A constant breeze and cool nights provided pleasant sleeping conditions. The kids especially enjoyed the private second floor spaces to escape from the parents, draw, and play games. A rare treat, we look forward to a return visit.
