"I fell in love with it. I met some incredible people and had some awesome food, drinks, cocktails, and desserts. I attended some local traditional festivities and became part of a vivid and vibrant community, a beautiful combination of youth and elderly crowds!

"I did a couple of hikes, one early in the morning (just before sunrise) and another one late afternoon time. Just spectacular. I made a promise to myself to return to Amorgos Island as soon as possible! It was the best holiday I had in the past decade."
