Getting from Rhodes to Amorgos

If you are heading to Amorgos from Rhodes you are making your way to the most eastern of the Cyclades, to the northwest. It is a long narrow island of dramatic cliffs, deep blue water and the extraordinary Monastery of Panagia Hozoviotissa built into the cliff face above the sea.
