We'll start our adventure in Egiali. From there, we'll head to the monastery of Panagia Hozoviotissa, an architectural gem carved into a cliff. After climbing its stairs, we'll be welcomed by the hospitality of the monks, who will offer us traditional raki and loukoumi, two delicious local delicacies. A unique experience!

Our next stop will be the beautiful bay of Agia Anna, where you'll have time to enjoy a refreshing swim at the famous beach that served as the setting for the film The Big Blue.

We'll continue our journey to Chora, where we'll explore the heart of the island. We'll tour the village, visiting iconic sites such as the windmills, Loza Square and the exterior of the majestic castle.

Finally, we'll round off the morning in style at one of Chora's traditional tavernas, where you'll have free time to enjoy a delicious meal before returning to the starting point.

Full-Day Tour (7.5 Hours)

After picking you up from Vigla Hotel in Tholaria, we'll leave Tholaria and its white houses with blue windows behind and head by minibus to the unparalleled beauty of Aegiali Bay. We'll make a first stop at the Church of Agios Giorgios Valsamitis, built on the site of an ancient Greek oracle.

Then we'll head south, stopping along the way at a coffee shop for a break and a drink. We'll then go to the village of Arkesini, where the Church of Agia Triada, built on a fortress and declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, is located.

Our next stop will be at the Hozoviotissa Monastery, one of the oldest monasteries in Greece. The monastery is embedded into the rock on a cliff 300 meters above sea level, giving it a unique appearance. The monks, guardians of this architectural wonder, make traditional offerings of raki and loukoumi, a liqueur and traditional sweets, inside.

Next, we'll visit Chora or Hora, the capital of the island. We'll stroll through its charming cobblestone streets and white buildings with polychrome wood decorations.

Finally, we'll return to the starting point to conclude this tour of the island of Amorgos. We'll arrive there 7.5 hours after initial pickup.
