Theoreion

A Guided Hike to the Iconic Monastery of Hozoviotissa

Embark on an adventure of discovery as you explore the rugged landscapes of Amorgos. A few steps from Theoreion, trails let you get even closer to the sounds and smells of the island. Journey on foot to one of Greece's most breathtaking treasures, hidden within the dramatic cliffs of Amorgos. Our exclusive guided experience to the 11th-century Monastery of Hozoviotissa transforms an exceptional hike into an unforgettable milestone in your journey together.

The Monastery of Hozoviotissa seems to defy gravity, clinging 300 meters above the azure Aegean waters. En route from Aegiali, your private guide will share the Monastery's fascinating stories while ensuring intimate moments for just the two of you.

Upon reaching this architectural marvel, step inside to discover centuries-old Byzantine icons and religious artifacts preserved in their original splendor. The monks welcome you with traditional Greek hospitality - offering home-made raki and loukoumi sweets. The true magic unfolds on the Monastery's secluded terrace, where the panoramic views create the perfect backdrop for self-reflection.

Upon concluding your visit to the Monastery, we present you with a gourmet picnic basket featuring the island's finest local ingredients. Savour organic Amorgian cheese made from goats that graze on wild herbs, perfectly ripened figs picked that morning, honey-drizzled paximadia rusks, and heirloom tomatoes bursting with Mediterranean sunshine.

For those marking milestone anniversaries or seeking the perfect proposal setting, we can elevate your picnic experience with vintage champagne, rare local delicacies and artisanal desserts created by our chef. Complete your celebration with professional photography or champagne service.
