The monastery of Hozoviotisa on the island of Amorgos in the Cyclades in Greece

Discover Amorgos

A tiny beautiful island, the most easterly of the Cyclades and a great authenticity. This is the island where the movie ‘The Big Blue’ by Luc Besson was shot. There is not much on the island but it’s a paradise if you want to experience the true Greek feel during your yacht charter in the Cyclades.

Our favourite spots

Andros

The island of Andros offers the best combination of the blend between East and West, Ottoman and Venetian cultures, turquoise waters and the land. You won’t find any fancy restaurant or designer shop on Andros but some beautiful neoclassical houses of wealthy shipping dynasties.
