The Setting
The island of Amorgos is off the beaten track and has largely been unaffected by tourism, retaining its authentic Greek way of life. Declared by its guests as the “jewel of Amorgos”, the Aegialis Hotel & Spa has been built on a site of outstanding beauty between the beaches of Aegiali and Levroso. Its ultramodern Lalon Idor Thalasso Spa & Beauty Centre offers a haven of relaxation in unique surroundings.

Activities
You will have plenty of time to explore the island of Amorgos, visit its villages, churches, Byzantine monasteries and museums. The island offers superb hiking along its historic paths with incredible views and many aromatic and therapeutic herbs along the way. As well as visiting surrounding islands, villages and archaeological sites, you’ll have the chance to take a boat trip to the nearby uninhabited island of Nikouria, practise yoga on the beach and have a picnic lunch. Check out the hotel’s website for further activities on offer.

Flights and Ferries
  • To reach Amorgos, fly to Athens and take the 5.30pm Blue Star Ferry (€33.50 one way) from the port of Piraeus to arrive in Amorgos at 1.30am.  Unless you plan to stay in Athens, book a flight to arrive early afternoon.
  • On your return, take the ferry at 6.55am, arriving in Piraeus at around 3pm.  Book your return flight to leave after 6pm.  A bus goes from the airport to Piraeus and vice versa. You can also take the metro or taxi.
  • The express bus X96 leaves every 20 minutes from the airport during the day and every 40 minutes at night from the airport arrivals level (between doors 4 and 5) to Karaiskaki Square in Piraeus right outside the ferry harbour.  A ticket costs €5.00. The trip takes about an hour and 15 minutes.
The boat trip adds another delightful aspect to your holiday giving you the opportunity to see different Greek  islands on the way to and from Amorgos while enjoying the excellent facilities on board.
