Amorgos’ natural beauty is made up of rugged landscape and fabulous beaches. The magic of the landscape is completed by whitewashed traditional architecture.
The legendary beauty of the island once inspired the filmmaker Luc Besson who, impressed by the virgin atmosphere of Amorgos, shot scenes for The Big Blue on the beach of Agia Anna.
