Revitalizing Yoga Retreat and Wellness Holiday on Amorgos Island in Greece in 2026
8-day blissful yoga retreat at the beautiful 5-star Spa Hotel.
Overview:
Amorgos is a Greek island in the Cyclades known for its dramatic cliffs, crystal-clear waters, and traditional whitewashed villages. It’s one of the Cyclades' most rugged and least touristy islands, making it a perfect destination for travelers seeking tranquility, nature, and an authentic Greek experience.
The island offers beautiful hiking trails connecting small villages, ancient sites, and breathtaking viewpoints over the Aegean Sea. One of its most famous landmarks is Panagia Hozoviotissa Monastery, a centuries-old monastery built into a cliffside and offering spectacular views. Amorgos also has lovely beaches like Agia Anna, known for its crystal-clear waters and connection to the movie The Big Blue.
Greece, where Amorgos is located, is famous for its rich history, stunning islands, and warm hospitality. It is known as the birthplace of Western civilization and is home to ancient ruins like the Parthenon in Athens. Greece also offers a variety of landscapes, from mountains to beaches, making it a diverse travel destination.
Amorgos enjoys a mild Mediterranean climate, and October is a great time to visit the island. The weather is still warm but not too hot, with daytime temperatures ranging from 20–25°C (68–77°F) and cooler evenings around 15–18°C (59–64°F).
The sea remains warm enough for swimming, and the island is much quieter than in the busy summer months. There may be some occasional rain or windy days. Still, overall, October offers a pleasant mix of sunshine, comfortable temperatures, and fewer crowds, making it ideal for hiking, exploring, and relaxation.

Additional activities:
Visit the Monastery of Panagia Hozoviotissa
It is a 30-minute driving distance from the hotel. A perfect blend of nature and the beauty of man's creation, the monastery symbolizes man's tribute to the Holy Mother. Built on the edge of a cliff, it provides a breathtaking view of the sparkling cerulean waters of the Aegean Sea. It is, undoubtedly, the pride of Amorgos, with its pristine walls lined with portraits of monks and other leaders, the smell of incense, and numerous little treasures. Being a place of remarkable historical relevance, a dress code requires men to wear trousers and women's long skirts. Visitors are greeted first by signs reminding them of the dress code and then by monks, who act as guardians of this architectural marvel. Visitors are offered psimeni raki shots and loukoumi to help them recharge after the demanding climbing.
Visit Aegialis:
It is a 50 min walking distance from the hotel. Though Aegiali is often referred to as the whole area, including Ormos Aegialis, Potamos, and Lagada, Ormos Aegiali is the heart of the village and a top choice of travelers due to its beach, cafés, bars, and tavernas. Close to Aegiali, there are plenty of beaches and other small villages to visit, while the whole area of Aegiali is a perfect spot for hiking.
