Unique stone formations to sunbath on, swim around or just watching the scenery. Crystal clear water and a protected bay makes this Beach an all time favorite. although its even in low season pretty busy. So come early to get one of the sun chairs or big rocks to enjoy the peaceful place.

2 Mikri Santa Maria

Located next to Santa Maria, its smaller and more private than Santa Maria Beach. There still some little Taverns located around this beautiful bay, although you don't have the same opportunities like water sport schools. There's an option for sunbeads and umbrellas too and some of the Bars started playing music and organize parties for the party crowd.

3 Faragas

Wide open Bay in the south of the island, white sands, some rocks and blue water. The beach is protected from the north wind which can get heavy, especially in summer. Some areas offer sunbeds and umbrellas, other are free and you settle down with your own gear.  

Amorgos, my Love, how shall i describe you?

Lying north of Santorini Island, it is much bigger and rougher then the tiny little beautiful and poetic Islands of the minor Cyclades. Actually its more a row of mountains than an Island. And as steep they are, as steep they fall in to the southern aegean Sea.

Arriving by sailboat or ferry, you first arrive in Katapola which is, on the left side, a scenic pretty little tourist place. On the right side, its is typical Greek Island Port, with Shops and honking Ferries coming and going.

Best place for a Sundowner is "Moon Bar": good view on the bay and its traffic, a a beautiful old tree to find shadow and some good Drinks.

By the way, Amorgos became famous through the French Film "le grand bleu" and there's a Bar called after the Film. They show the Movie every Night during High Season, so if you haven't seen it yet, give it a try. The Film is the reason so many french people settled down here, and also there seen more French Tourists than elsewhere around.

Where to stay

The big blue Guesthouse, Lagada

Beautiful small Guesthouse in traditional style with stunning views.

Vorina Ktismata, Chora

Small jewel at the Chora of Amorgos. Most stunning sunsets granted!

1 Sarakiniko Beach

You can't deny it, Sarakiniko is magic. Even in high Season and during days, its crowded, it is still magic. Visit at sunrise or sunset, vibes are totally different yet still breathtaking.

2 Agia Kiriakos or Kiriaki

Located south of the island this Beach is most underrated to me. White Pebbles and cristal clear water make this quiet Beach unique to me. There's a little tavern at the western end of the beach, but apart from that, bring your own gear, cos ist not touristic at all.

3 Tsigaros

This Beach became, even it is hard to reach, quite famous and busy. The access is not easy, bring good shoes, you have to climb! But once you're down, you know it was worth. but go, before the crowd comes, so you can leave again.

4 Firopotamos

Super pitoresque little bay which is surrounded by some old style fishermen houses and shelters. Can get really busy, so be there early or late.

5 Firiplaka

This small Beach ducked under huge white rocks has some tourist facilities. If the Beach itself becomes too busy, find shelter in one of the little bays around.

3 Sigi Ikthios

https://www.paros-restaurants.gr

You would suggest some tourist trap in this location, but seafood is served here at its best! Enjoy. If you don't have a reservation, they usually make a table up for you. Just be carful you dont end up in the old harbor. You would not be the first one :)

4 Fotis All Day Bar -Naousa

No Webside

Good food, all day, good wine, excellent hangover breakfast and lots of yummy smoothies and drinks, which make you think its healthy, but its probably not. Apart from the really tasty menu, the location directly at the beach and water front of Naousa old town, is unbearable. Although you might get a splash from the sea on a windy day.

5 Chrisoula Meze Tavern - Lefkes

No Webside

Traditional Meze platters, served with a view. Located at the Road leaving this mountain village, it offers a beautiful view over the little village, old windmills, hills and, of course the Aegean Sea. Best for a late Lunch.
