Agios Pavlos beach on Amorgos

Agios Pavlos lies opposite the small island of Nikouria about 5 kilometres before Aegiali. You will not come closer to the Caribbean than this on Amorgos, and perhaps nowhere else either in the Cyclades. From a distance the beach looks quite exotic, the water has an unusual blue-green lustre, the big pebbles are snow-white and it is pretty shallow.

That you are far from the Caribbean is noticeable when you are on the beach itself, but still it is not a bad beach, especially if you like pebble beaches. You can go by beach boat from Agios Pavlos to the island of Nikouria opposite Agios Pavlos. On Nikouria are some perfectly fine beaches.

Please note that the beach may look different from year to year. It depends on how the weather has been during the winter. If there has been a lot of storms, the isthmus is smaller than the pictures show. If it is very windy, Express Skopelitis usually goes in the strait between Agios Pavlos and the island of Nikouria instead of rounding Nikouria from the outside.

ACCOMMODATION IN AGIOS PAVLOS

The first time I came to Agios Pavlos, there was nothing there except for a small fishing port. Today, there are severals hotels, one of them - Aqua Petra Hotel - have a swimming pool, a pool bar and a restaurant. Something I could not imagined just a few years ago. But I prefer smaller hotels and if you do too, I can recommend Aspes Village, or Phos Boutique Apartments, which is also located in Agios Pavlos.
