Nikouria
Νικουριά
🤿 Good snorkelling👨👩👧 Family-friendly
Two sandy coves on the uninhabited islet off Agios Pavlos, five minutes across by the small boat that runs through the day in season. There is nothing on Nikouria — no taverna, no shade, no water — so take a picnic and an umbrella and plan which boat you are coming back on. The clearest, calmest water on Amorgos.
