AMORGOS - IN THE BIG BLUE |
|
Amorgos lies east of Naxos in the Cyclades. This is my favourite of the more than 60 Greek islands I have been to. Off course I am just one of many fans. The real enthusiasts return to Amorgos at least once every year, which says something of the attraction of this amazing island – if you visit Amorgos once, you always long to go back. Still it is hard to explain for someone who has never been there what it is that makes Amorgos unique. Even we fanatics cannot agree on a reason for our love. Amorgos has an atmosphere I have not experienced anywhere else. There is something about the mountains and sea that affects your mind. I cannot say how or why it happens, but every time I get off the boat I feel an inner peace. I know it sounds woolly, but my advice is to go and see for yourself – maybe you will have the good fortune of experiencing the same thing. And one more thing – if you like hiking Amorgos is the place to be. |
