Truly an escape in paradise. Yiannis knows everyone in town and he provided the best recommendations for what to eat, see, and do. The views from the home are breathtaking. You have access to a full kitchen to make whatever you dream using ingredients from the local grocer.
Location is impeccable: you are mere footsteps away from an amazing seafood restaurant, with freshly caught local fish, cafes, and restaurants. The ferry drops off on the other side of the bay, which is a short 8 min walk, which has more restaurants and patisseries, including one he owns (I’d highly recommend checking it out, the baked goods are a locally made treat). You’re also minutes away from a secluded beach to watch the sunset, if you choose not to watch from the porch. That said, I’d recommend renting a buggy to see the whole island—and Yiannis can help hook you up with that!
Inside the home: As a light sleeper, I appreciated how quiet the home is. The windows are tight and sound proof; if you want to hear the waves brushing against the sand, you can open the windows to hear it. There is also a washing machine (very welcomed after days of island hopping) with clothespins to safely and efficiently hang dry under the Greek sun. Plenty of towels and blankets, and quiet air conditioning in each room for any weather.
Overall: This was hands down the best Airbnb experience I’ve ever had, and would recommend to anyone coming to Amorgos via the Katapola port. Yiannis and his wife are fast to communicate, generous beyond belief, and savor in incredible hospitality. I felt like one of the community and this Airbnb will make your island escape one to remember forever.
