Amorgos
The catch
Long journey from Athens and limited transport once you arrive. The landscape is dramatic but not beach-paradise beautiful.
Hidden gem
Swim out from Agia Anna beach (also Big Blue territory) at dawn — the cliffs above the monastery glow pink.
Folegandros
The catch
Tiny island with very limited beaches. Getting harder to reach and increasingly discovered by the "anti-tourist tourist" crowd.
Hidden gem
Walk the old donkey path from Chora down to Agali bay at sunset — 40 minutes, no traffic, just the sea below.
