General presentation
Amorgos
Elongated and mountainous Cyclade, between monastery hanging on the cliff, trails, blue coves, white villages and the tip of the Aegean world.
To understand what Amorgos is, look at Chozoviotissa, Chora and Katapola. These places give us the opportunity to see a territory marked by island landscapes, the coastline, mountain reliefs and heritage, and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 6 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: long ferries and marked relief. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Town or village
Chozoviotissa
Chozoviotissa is a white monastery clad against the cliff Amorgos, above a deep blue sea. The approach through the steps, the narrow facade and the small rooms hung on the rock give a physical visit, almost vertical.
Town or village
Chora
Chora of the Amorgos hides in the interior, with mills, vaulted passages, white stairs and protected plots from the wind. The village offers a peaceful base for evenings, close to the roads to Chozoviotissa, Katapola and the paths that cross the island.
Town or village
Katapola
Katapola is one of the ports of Amorgos, set at the bottom of a quiet bay where docks, boats, terraces and family pensions line up. The place is suitable for a slow arrival on the island, with nearby swimming and trails to Minoa or Chora.
