May Day in Amorgos isn't just a holiday-it's an experience of renewal. The island is still green, wildflowers bloom along the paths, and the Aegean light has that soft golden glow that makes everything feel authentically Cycladic.
In Tholaria, above Aegiali Bay, spring reveals the island's calmest side-before the summer crowds arrive.
