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.
Koufonisia
The catch
Very small — gets seriously crowded in July and August despite low international profile. Book accommodation months ahead.
