Amorgion Hotel

First off, Amorgos is a hidden gem in the Cyclades. We regret only staying 2 days and one night. It deserved more time for sure. The Hotel Amorgion was also a pleasant surprise. The photos don’t do it justice. The rooms are spread out around the property like casitas and each room had a small outdoor space. From the pool area you can see the entire bay. It is serene and feels like a retreat. Our room had a kitchenette and bunk beds for the kids. Among other local items offered to guests, we received sesame and honey bars, small bottles of the local liquor and an array of locally made beauty products. Getting here was easy. We rented a car at the port and arrived in 5 minutes. It’s a 15 minute walk (moderate to steep) or you can use the hotel transportation to and from the port. The staff was SO lovely—very friendly and accommodating. They also serve food and beverages. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast on the veranda overgrown with bougainvillea. We really can’t say enough about this beautiful place. The sound of the cicadas and the smell of rosemary, honey and lavender in the air was instantly calming. Visit Amorgos and stay at the Amorgion before the secret gets out!
