Vorina Ktismata

Magical. Vorina Ktismata is a place to restore your soul. Walk 30 minutes to the monastery at sunrise and you’ll probably have the place to yourself. Watch gobsmacking sunsets from your balcony. Stroll into the chora for delicious local cuisine. Nikos and Alexia treat you like their very first guests. The breakfasts are amazing, home-cooked and served by the delightful Maria. The whole hotel is beautifully designed and spotlessly clean. We loved it.

Nikos and Alexia are consummate hosts and ambassadors for the spectacular island of Amorgos, sharing daily tips that helped us make the most of our time on the island. Vorina Ktismata is a luxurious stay. Its design is considerate and sympathetic to the beautiful Chora

I have been fortunate to have visited more than a dozen Greek Islands over the past forty years. Additionally, my husband and I have twice sailed the islands on privately chartered yachts. I am also a former hotel inspector for a major travel magazine. It is with this perspective that I wholeheartedly recommend Amorgos as a destination, and Vorina Ktismata for luxury accommodation on Amorgos. First, the location of Vorina Ktismata is perfection, walking distance from the windmill-strewn Chora, or old town, of Amorgos. The Chora itself is centrally located on the island of Amorgos, facilitating driving (and hiking) excursions to some of the island’s best beaches, sights and authentic towns. Second, Vorina Ktismata’s seven suites leverage the stunning location, with generous terraces featuring jaw-dropping sea and/or Chora views. Rooms feature Coco-Mat bedding, colorful shuttered windows, modern bathrooms, excellent connectivity and ample storage. The rooms are blissfully quiet and comforting. Finally, Vorina Ktismata’s ‘secret sauce’ is the extraordinary hospitality provided by the husband and wife ownership team, Nikos and Alexia. Natural hosts, they anticipate guest needs, assisting with transportation arrangements, sightseeing options and authentic dining recommendations. Breakfast is fresh, diverse and effortlessly served on a sunny communal terrace, where an easy conversational rapport naturally arises among the like-minded guests. The island of Amorgos is reminiscent of the unspoiled Greek islands of thirty years ago. If you are one of the privileged guests of Vorina Ktismata, your Amorgos experience will be exponentially enriched.

This was not just a hotel it was an experience. We have just enjoyed a marvellous 5 night stay. The owners Alexia and Nikos are truly passionate about their guests. The daily breakfast was amazing with homemade jams, cakes, and yes pancakes. Wow wow wow

The Best of Amorgos! Vorina Ktismata is an absolute gem perfectly located in the middle of the island just a few steps from Chora. Its modern design and the unique views from. every suite made it the perfect home away from home during our holidays. Nikos & Alexia were exceptional hosts. Always greeting guests with a smile, they put warmth and care into everything they do which made our stay all the more special. From the personalised travel tips and support in booking a table at the best tavernas on the island to the sumptuous breakfasts featuring daily specials baked by Alexia herself, every detail was considered. An unforgettable stay! We look forward to being back soon!

In July, my husband and I enjoyed several days at the Vorina Ktismata. From the minute we arrived till the day we departed, we were very impressed with all that the hosts provided at this rare gem of a hotel. As others describe here, this beautiful, contemporary hotel is a collection of commodious rooms, each offering a unique view of the hills, chora or distant sites. Our room was spotless, and featured all the comforts of a well-appointed suite: modern shower and bathroom fixtures, toiletries, comfortable bed, desk, table and chairs, TV and even a small fridge stocked with ice cold bottled water upon our arrival.||Our mornings began with a delicious and large buffet – the best we had throughout Greece! There was both breakfast (eggs, breads, yogurt, fruit, muesli, toast, jams) and lunch (cheeses, olives, tomatoes and baked goods). Our hostess Alexia served excellent cappuccino and Greek coffee as well as juices, tea or regular coffee. She was not only attentive and welcoming, but full of useful local information on where to go, what to do, timely advice about ferry service, and even practical tips about the weather! ||We looked forward to our daily breakfast gathering, meeting other guests and enjoying lively discussion on sports, politics and tourist tips. The chora is a 10 minute walk from the hotel, very convenient for evening dining and shopping. After a busy day of exploring every corner of this amazing island, we’d relax in our freshly-cleaned room, feeling rejuvenated and satisfied to be right there in such clean, tasteful comfort.||Over our days together at the Vorina Ktismata, we also got to know the family members who run this hotel with grace and professionalism. Getting to know them, and learning about their own background and lives also enriched our stay. By the time we left, I felt like we’d planted a stake right there for a return visit. Amorgos and the Vorina Ktismata are a magical combination, offering the best experience for seeing and staying on a Greek Island in comfort, proximity to activities and an outstanding host family that’s truly rare in any tourist location.

We stayed 3 memorable nights at Vorina Ktismata in the beautiful Amorgos Chora- one of the best Greek island hotels you could imagine. Nikos and Alexi were truly wonderful and friendly hosts who looked after our every needs - the breakfasts were superb with Alexi’s home made preserves and Nikos’ omelettes a favourite. Everything about Vorina was excellent with its modern but traditional architecture, native plant landscaping and stylish comfortable rooms with amazing views. We stayed in a room called Haroupia with lovely sea and Kastro balcony views. Nikos was especially helpful with advice about exceptional restaurants and island activities. We hope to visit Amorgos again one day and will definitely stay at Vorina Ktismata.

Please see the review from a year ago (2024) and check on the dog two plots over, chained to a post 24/7, and left to live on top of its own feces. Please put pressure on the police to stop this animal cruelty (unrelated to this hotel property owner).
