From the rugged peaks of Amorgos to the sapphire seas of Serifos, these are the under-the-radar Grecian isles truly worth a visit.
Amorgos
A sense of mystery shrouds the easternmost Cycladic island of Amorgos, making its rugged charm undeniably captivating. It has a kind of raw, primitive beauty—the kind you would scribble a postcard home about. It’s a place where craggy mountains dramatically drop into azure seas, crusader castles huddle amidst the mist and monasteries appear to be one strong gust away from tumbling into the deep. The Monastery of Chozoviotissa, clinging to the cliffside overlooking the Aegean, is nothing short of a wonder—not just for its architectural audacity, but also for the sweeping views of the sea.
