| About Amorgos
Amorgos is an island of a particular natural
beauty. It is a seductive island that will
lead you to the path of romanticism, sensuality
and happiness. An island so unique that it
creates the sense that you are in a different
civilization, awaking inside you every happy
memory and every sweet and tender emotion.
It stands on the east part of the Cyclades
Islands and it is 136 nautical miles from
Pireus. It covers an area of 121 sq. km. and
has approximately 1.500 inhabitants.
Hora is the capital of
the island and it is built in the interior
of the island. It is filled with paved streets,
arches, alleys and rocky steps. When you are
in Hora we suggest that you visit the venetian
castle, the medieval Tower of Gavras, which
today houses the archaeological museum, the
monastery of Hozoviotissas and the old mansions.
Amorgos has two beautiful
and safe ports, the port of Aegiali and the
one of Katapola. The port of Aegiali has a
heavy tourist action, showing at the same
time all the characteristics of a traditional
Greek fishing harbor. Aegiali is famous for
the unique landscapes of rare beauty and the
golden beaches its visitors are offered, as
well as the several ancient monuments and
the wonderful little churches. It is quite
a charismatic place that once looked upon,
it makes every visitor feel a deep connection.
