The story

Sono le 6:00 del mattino quando sbarchiamo soli al porto di Katapola. Un salto indietro nel tempo. L'autobus ci porta verso Aegiali correndo su Kilometri di strada a strapiombo sul mare: meraviglioso. Amorgos è spiagge intatte e bellissime come la baia di kalotaritissa, Agia Anna e Muros. Ha uno spirito mistico e la visita al santuario di Hoziotivissa ve lo dimostrerà. E' tradizionale e la vera Grecia vive nei piccoli villaggi dell'isola dove tutto si concentra nelle tante taverne dove anziani e giovani insieme trascorrono la serata a suonare e cantare le canzoni locali. Pochi turisti. Di AMORGOS è impossibile dimenticare il silenzio, interrotto solo dal soffio continuo del vento che non ci ha mai mollato e l'azzurro che racchiude tutto. E' davvero l'isola del "Grande Blu".
