Amorgos
Enticing Amorgos makes an attractive alternative to the well-worn
Mykonos-Paros-Santorini route. Its principal port, Katapola, occupies a
large, dramatic bay in the most verdant part of the island. A smattering of
remains from ancient Minoa, as well as a Mycenaean cemetery, lie above the
port.
Hora, the beautiful, unspoilt capital, is 400m (1312ft) above sea level, and
is often shrouded in clouds when everywhere else is sunny. For breathtaking
views, walk down the steep hillside that leads to Moni Hozoviotissis, a
dazzling-white 11th-century monastery that dangles off the cliffside.
