First class hikes on Amorgos - I did 2 full-day hikes with Dimitris end of March/ beginning of April 2024, from Aegialis Bay to Chora, and from Langada to Stavros and back. Amazing experiences with a very friendly, knowledgeable and very careful guide who adapted to my walking speed (and not the other way round). Beautiful landscapes, challenging but feasible hikes!

Fun day hiking with Dimitris - We spent a day with Dimitris hiking the trails between the villages above Aegiali. Dimitris was very knowledgeable and fun to walk with. We frequently detoured to look at animals, visit churches, eat prickly pears etc. the walk wasn’t difficult and we took our time. Dimitris was really helpful - recommending other things to do and restaurants to visit whilst on Amorgos. I would thoroughly recommend.

Day trip to monastery and Chora - We had a day trip with Dream Blue - exploring Chora and the monastery. It was so interesting and great to have a guide to answer all our questions. It was great to have a hotel pick up and he also took us to a lovely place for a lunch time swim. It has really added to our time in Amorgos to explore a little and see a bit more of this beautiful place. Highly recommended!

Excellent island tour which entertained the tweens - Very happy customers! We are a family of five who went on an Amorgos island tour with Dimitris. Highly professional, prompt pick up in an immaculate vehicle and good value for money being out all day. We visited the Hozoviotissa Monastery, Agia Anna beach, windmills, castle and town of Chora. Dmitris was a good mix of knowledge and fun and we felt we were being let in on some of the island’s secrets. Bread from the best bakery, safe jumping spots on the rocks, literally the giant old iron key to the castle. It is a privilege worth paying for to be escorted when visiting the tourist spots and very relaxing to let someone else manage the twisty roads and parking, to the soundtrack of some choice Greek music - nice touch! Thank you

Beautiful small chapel in the " hanging" Monastery. - Hike up to the Monastery by steps with several places to rest on the long climb up. Women must have shoulders & knees covered; skirts and shawls available prior to entering. More steps inside to lovely chapel. Make sure to go further up the parh to view the monestary "hanging" from the clift. Amazing sea views.
