Amorgos, the island of the big blue, has much to offer its visitors. Among the various sights you will be interested in visiting are the beautiful monastery of Panagia Hozoviotissa, glued on a vertical rock, 300 m above the sea, the wonderful Cycladic architecture of the houses, the castle and the Gabras Tower in Hora, the capital of the island, and the remains of the ancient town of Minoa in Katapola, which also offers an amazing view.
You can also follow one of the many dirt roads that lead to some of the most amazing locations found all over the island and especially near the sea.
The cool climate combined with the bright sun of the Aegean will refresh you and offer you a healthy environment for your excursions. Amorgos is a mountainous island with few but wonderful interruptions of green and with many sandy beaches that will amaze you with their beauty.
This island has all the characteristic Cycladic colours and a special traditional character that will fascinate you with its simplicity and tranquillity. The calm surroundings seem unearthly with the brown hills and rough steeps above the deep blue sea and the small villages, appearing as white spots on the wild ground.
