Παναγία Θεοσκέπαστη
“The Panagia Theoskepasti chapel near Chora in Amorgos is a small, charming church nestled in a quiet, isolated spot. Its natural stone roof blends seamlessly with the surrounding rock, creating a cave-like atmosphere. From this peaceful sanctuary, you can enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of Chora and the endless Aegean Sea. It’s a perfect place for quiet reflection and taking in the island’s serene beauty.

Ασφοντυλιτης
Asfontilitis 840 08, Greece
“
Asfondilitis, a small chapel just five minutes off the road from Agios Pavlos toward Chora, is an ideal spot for stargazing. There are very few lights and complete silence. Next to it, there’s a small taverna that operates only upon request.”

Xylokeratidi Sea View
Ξυλοκερατίδι, Katapola 840 08, Greece
“If it’s your first time in Amorgos and you’re staying in Katapola, take some time to explore Xylokeratidi, the quiet, traditional village just across the bay.
Start with a walk toward the old cemetery. It's a peaceful spot with great views over the harbor, and it gives you a sense of the island’s calm, timeless character.
As you head along the seaside path, you’ll come across something unexpected — the statue of the Muse Erato, standing in the sea. Believe it or not, this sculpture used to be in Omonia Square in Athens! Now, it quietly watches over the water here, giving the place a poetic, almost surreal touch.
Keep walking by the sea, past cute little houses and fishing boats, and you’ll eventually reach a small white chapel, just before Maltézi beach. It’s a lovely spot to rest, take in the view, or snap a few photos.
If you keep going, you’ll find tiny hidden beaches — quiet little swimming spots with crystal-clear water, perfect for a refreshing dip away from the crowds.”
