CYCLADES
SIGHTSEEING - 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 Piraeus. It covers
an area of 121 sq. m. 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.
Katapola
is the main port of the island and it is 5 km from Hora. It offers
nice beaches and an intense night life.
What
will draw your attention, though, is the acropolis of the ancient
Minoa, which is on top of the Moudoulia hill, offering a panoramic
and impressive view of the Katapola bay and the blue Aegean sea.
If
you still haven’t visited Amorgos, you have surely missed
unparalleled experiences. The only danger is that when you’ll be
there, the island’s secretive charm, combined with its seductive
nature, will transform you into its eternal fan and incurable lover.
