I got my bags packed on a roll heading out there and I'm ready to go looking real good

in my passport photo.

In amateur traveler episode 815. Today the amateur traveler talks about

dramatic monasteries, jagged cliffs, whitewashed towns, windmills, and goats as we go to the Greek Isles of Ostepalia and Amorgos.

Welcome to the amateur traveler. I'm your host Chris Christensen. Let's talk about

Astapalia and Amorgos. I'd like to welcome to the show Michael and Cassandra from Journey of MC on

Instagram who've come to talk to us about two of the Greek Isles. Michael and

Cassandra, welcome to the show. Thanks so much for having us.

We're big fans of the podcast and it's an honor to be here.

Thanks.

It just doesn't seem like an honor to me.

I'm here every week.

I said the Greek Isles, and obviously we're going to talk about two specific islands I

whipped out because I had not heard of these islands so where are we talking about

today? We're starting off in Azapalia and Amorgos which are two islands in the Aegean Sea.

Now, most people are familiar with the agency with Santarini and Michenos,

but these are more remote islands.

One is actually in Seclades, which is Amorgos,

and Astapalia is in the Decanese island chain.

And both of these are to the east of Mekkenos and Santarini.

Okay.

And what is your connection with these two islands?
