About Amorgos

Amorgos is the easternmost of the Cyclades, a long, steep island of rocky ridges and deep water. Chora sits inland, and the monastery of Panagia Hozoviotissa clings to a cliff face above the sea a short walk away; the diving scenes in the film The Big Blue were shot at Agia Anna beach nearby. Katapola and Aegiali are the two ports, and footpaths cross the island between villages. May, June, September and October are mild, while winter is cold and sleepy.
