If you are looking to escape the more well-known and popular islands of Greece – then Amorgos is an island to seriously consider!
I am delighted to review the accommodation – “Captain Yiannis, Amorgos” – being the first occupants we were treated with light & airy, fresh, new & sparkling EVERYTHING!
My husband and I were in dire need to escape the masses and enjoy some quiet, chilled and natural surrounds.
“Captain Yiannis” accomm was exactly what we were looking for.
If you are looking for a quiet and clam, truly restful retreat – there is no need to search beyond this accommodation.
It has EVERYTHING you need!
The hosts have made sure of that! They have covered all bases –
Kitchen-wise:
- Krupps coffee machine, great range of all cooking implements, plates, glassware etc.
- A tray of essentials (salt & pepper, sugar, vinegar, oil)
- Four plate electric stove

The place has a lovely compact bathroom including a tiny window for ventilation! Perfect!

The highlights (for us) staying there:
- The washing machine!! (drying rack, pegs, powder all included)
- The Terrace area with wooden table, sun umbrella and many chairs!
- Perfect spot to enjoy amazing sunsets turning into the most brilliant Stary-of-Skies … with sights and sounds of nature all around, birds, sheep, goats and donkeys (!!!) Oh-what-a-dream!!!
This accomm will not disappoint anyone!

Pluses of the area! (Agios Pavlos) :

- Bus stop at the top of the road (near accomm)
One can easily do without a car (esp. if back-packing), however, we recommend a car if you have cases (hire cars plentiful and cheap on the island)
- Beautiful Agios Pavlos beach with the clearest water and mountainous backdrop!
- Hotel on the beach (Aqua Petra) perfect option for a nice little “sundowner” drink at their pool bar, and should you desire absolutely beautiful home-cooked meals – their Taverna is the place to go!
- If you have a car there are a couple of lovely towns to see all-the-while soaking up the beautiful natural scenery of rugged mountains and glistening ocean waters.
Chora - tiny quaint town perched on hill-top providing gorgeous scenic views, the towns winding little paths lined with eateries makes sure the sight-seer won’t go hungary or thirsty!!
Aegiali – a more populated area than Agios Pavlos and Chora. A lovely spot too, with a long sandy beach!
