The islands of the Little Cyclades - way out past Naxos - are tiny gems, whose very location puts them in
the too-hard basket for many travellers. Iraklia, Schinousa, Koufonisia, and Donousa are all visited by ferry,
and are wonderful destinations for holiday R&R. Amorgos, sort of adrift as the most easterly island of the Cyclades
group, is an unspoilt island, but, as my photographs will show, very attractive and well worth a visit. The
main towns, Katapola and Aegiali, are whitewashed gems, with pretty tavernas, and waterfronts complete with
fishing boats, their yellow nets spread out to dry. The winding streets of the inland Chora are particularly appealing.
One of Amorgos’s features is Moni Hozoviotissis, the extraordinary white monastery clinging to the cliff face, featured
in many travel brochures and guide books. During my stay on Amorgos the locals were on strike! Their banner -
‘We want Ships not Empty Ports’ - shows the good people of Amorgos want more ferries to bring more tourists!
