Amorgos

Amorgos was a beautiful but quiet place. I went a bit before the season started and was recommended it by a friend of a friend. Apparently it's a popular vacation island for Greeks to go to, but they usually go later into the summer.

Amorgos is a bigger island so you need to rent transport if you want to get around. The first day I rented a quad and explored part of the island. I went to see the windmills, I went to a monastery built in a mountain, and a couple of beaches. It was great except I almost got stranded at the monastery because my quad didn't start. Someone had to come and kick start it manually for me.

The next two days I rented a car for transport. For some reason I decided to fill the tank with gas for €40 even though I was only using it for a day and a half. I heard this town called Tholaria about an hour drive away was very nice. I went but it was dead due to being out of season. I saw a few people and a donkey walking the streets. I stopped at a couple of beaches as well, one of them having Jeff Bezos' $500M dollar support yacht in the water. I found a small black tube on the beach and tried to swim to it, but it was too far away. I'm lucky I had the tube because I got a calf cramp on the way back.

The next day I had to go to Naxos so I woke up early and drove to a shipwreck, it was really cool to see. Then in typical Greece fashion, I got a gyro and took a ferry to Naxos.Read more
