The ferry to Amorgos was small and gave us a feeling for the "real" thing. But it was a long ride.
1 A small chapel on an island in the port of Chora, with the Temple of Apollo in the background. Two very different religions...
2 Almost everybody sat outdoors on this ferry, the Skopelitis of the Small Cyclades Lines.
3 The baggage room. Luggage was also piled up on the staircase, which would have been illegal in some other countries we know.
4 Leaving the harbor
5 Adieu to Naxos
6 This might be Plaka Beach, where we stayed.
7 The boat left just after lunch and took all afternoon to get to Amorgos because it stopped at several small islands along the way. This might be the smallest, Iraklia.
8 No, this one, Schinoussa, is probably smaller.
9 A series of islands
10 Small church and windmill on the third island, Koufonissi.
11 Compared to the last two islands, Koufonissi is a big place.
12 Harbor of Koufonissi
13 Dramatic cliff
14 Finally, approaching Amorgos, the most mountainous island we visited.
15 Looking back at the sunset.
16 Rounding the point to enter Aigiali Bay, the weather is already less sunny.
17 Entering Aigiali Bay, with our huge hotel complex on the left looking over the bay.
