TRAVEL OPTION ONE

Guests can take an international flight to Athens, and stay overnight in Athens.  During their stay, guests can visit the old city, or stay by the coast, and then catch an early morning direct boat from Pireaus Port, Athens (incl. faster passenger services) for early afternoon arrival in Katapola Port, Amorgos.  There are 2 ports in Amorgos, and both are fine to arrive through.  The Katapola port is more central, and most arrivals are through this port.  Most (not all) departures will be from Aegiali Port, Amorgos.

 

TRAVEL OPTION TWO

Guests can fly to Athens, and then take an Olympic Airlines domestic flight from Athens to Naxos /Naxos to Athens; for shorter return ferry journey from Naxos Port.

 

TRAVEL OPTION THREE

Guests can fly on an international flight direct to Mikonos, and take a return ferry journey to Amorgos, from Mikonos.

 

Travel notes:

• There is no airport on Amorgos. This is a positive travel feature and adds to its charm!

• The nearest island airports are Naxos, Santorini, Astipalaia & Mikonos.

• Please visit www.goferry.com for all ferry schedules and  bookings.

• We recommend booking a business class seat, or private first class cabin on the Athens Ferry (Hellenic Seaways or Blue Star).

​

DAY ONE

Guests will be picked up from the Amorgos Port of their choice, and taken to their accommodation in Chora, which is the perfect location to be on the island.

​

DAY TWO to SEVEN

Breakfast will take place at the Jasmine Cafe, which will be a daily morning meeting point.  From here, we will have a plan in hand tailored to go to lovely beaches, lunch in our favourite local good quality tavernas, fit in a walk, or plan a siesta, etc.  Guests who wish to participate in wild swimming activities, will be guided to the open water swimming areas, for swimming and some spectacular snooping style 'free' diving down in places.  There will also be ample opportunities to enjoy pretty walks, visiting nice gardens, villages, restaurants, traditional cafes, bars, and tavernas, for music, culinary, and monastery ceremonies at different times during the week.

 

DAY EIGHT

Guests will be driven to meet their departing ferries - unless arrangements have been made for staying for another week.

 

Notes:

• After really having lived, and immersed ourselves on the island, we have closely bonded with Amorgian friends, and their local culture. We hope our guests experience something unique, and special because of this.

• The itinerary has been carefully considered to flow well with the length of stay, but can of course can be changed according to specific needs, and interests.

• June, July & September being highly recommended months.

• A special 'authentic big blue week' is a nice time in mid September to be on the island.  At this time, the island is quiet, but there are events celebrating the anniversary of the free diving film, including wine tastings, traditional music, and more.

• Accommodation is provided at the Emprostiada Traditional Guest House.  The guest house comprises of apartments and small houses with a garden and courtyard, in the small village of Chora in the centre of the island (see photo in gallery).
