Agios Pavlos & Nikouria, Amorgos
White pebbles, crystal waters, calm scenery and, right across, the tiny island of Nikouria with exotic vibes.
The experience
Between Chora and Aegiali you’ll find Agios Pavlos, a serene beach facing Nikouria. The water is clear, the small pebbles shine under the sun, and the landscape feels peaceful and bright.
Right by the shore there’s a small beach bar perfectly blended with the dry Cycladic scenery — serving coffee, snacks and fresh cocktails with soft music and friendly vibes. The owner loves to chat and treat guests with local rakomelo and stories.
Boat to Nikouria – Schedule & Prices
- Departures every hour from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

The short crossing takes just a few minutes and leads to one of Amorgos’ most unique spots.
On Nikouria
The beach is long with fine pebbles and golden sand, almost no natural shade — so early morning or late afternoon is best. Bring sun protection and plenty of water.
You’ll find a small canteen for coffee and snacks, plus sunbeds for rent. The waters are calm even on windy days — ideal for a day trip escape.
Good to know
- Wild goats often wander down to the beach – part of the island’s charm but keep a respectful distance.
- Many campers choose to stay on Nikouria for days; it’s beautiful but not for everyone.
- Crystal-clear, wave-protected waters make swimming a joy all day long.
