Lagada in Amorgos: Lagada, or Langada as it is also called, is located at a distance of 20 km north of Chora. The fascinating Lagada village and its surrounding settlements grew up in the plains of Aegiali along the hillside. It combines amazing hilly areas and proximity to the sea, making it a much-preferred destination for visitors. The architecture of Lagada reflects the traditional Cycladic architecture.

The places of interest in and around the village of Lagada are the ravine of Araklos, the churches of Agia Triada and Panagia Epanochoriani, the windmills, and the old settlement of Stroumbos. There is also the Byzantine monastery of Agios Ioannis Theologos near the Krikelo Mountain and the church of Stavros.
