Where?

Join us at the 5-star Aegaelis Hotel & Spa on the beautiful Amorgos Island in Greece.

According to mythology, Amorgos was the island where Ulysses, on his way back to Ithaki, was attracted like a magnet by Goddess Kirki, and stayed for many years. Every year since, the same magnetic attraction beguiles wellness and yoga enthusiasts, which flock to the island, attracted by its strong revitalizing energy and the abundance of therapeutic herbs, that make Amorgos the perfect place for a spiritual and physical uplifting.

The hotel is located on a hill with a view of the Aegiali Bay and the Aegean Sea. It is only 1km from the port of Aegiali, where there are shops, tavernas, coffee bars, and supermarkets. The main beach of Aegiali is also a short 10-15 minute walk away. Additionally, the beach of Levrossos is also a 10-15 minute walk away.
