It's not easy to get to the island Amorgos because it is one of the most easterly of the Cyclades.(after te stop in Amorgos ther ferryt brings you to Astipalea) That's one of the reasons why I wanted to go there,. From Belgium your first have to take a flight to Santorini, then a ferry to Naxos an afterwards take a little ferry to Amorgos. There are only three towns: the harbours Katapola (western side)and Egiali (eastern side)and the old hillvillage Chora. This village is really still unspoiled. No t-shirt shops only two little restaurants, one nice bar with good relaxing music, one shop, one pharmacy and some basic rooms. At the harbours you have some more basic shops and little restaurants. This island is perfect for people who like the quietness of a greek island, perfect for walkers with a good physical condition to take the welknown foothpath Egiali on the top of the island. Of course everybody has once seen in his life the picture of the white monastery CHOZOVIOTISSA, 300 m above sea level. You have some good beaches in the bays of Egiali (with super standard hotel on a cliff) and Katapola. The famous tiny Agia Anna nudist beach is only suitable for a few people and the steps to get there are rough. The few roads on this mountainous island give you fantastic views, sometime you see the both seasides of the island at once, 360°. More your eyes can see. An island to discover for greek fanatics! I stayed 4 days, 2 at Egiali (luxus hotel)and 2 at Katapola. I prefered my stay at Maria Rooms Katapola and in the afternoon, with the car, pay a visit to Chora to listen to the relaxing music and went to the beach in front of Katapola.No many busses on Amorgos,so if you have the possibility to have your own mobility you will get more freedom on your visits and beachtime.
