At Katapola, the
main harbour of the island today and the location of the interesting
church of Our Lady 'Katapoliani' (built on the site of a temple of
Apollo), traces of ancient Minoa have come to light. Swimmers will be
delighted by the superb beaches to be found in the vicinity. The
whitewashed houses of the capital of the island, Hora or Amorgos, spread
out beneath the Venetian castle which stands on the peak of the hill. The
typical Cycladic architectural style of the double or 'twin' church is
much in evidence here. The Archaeological Museum has finds from all over
the island and is well worth a visit.
Port police. Greek gas. Water on the quay.
Ferries to Piraeus and Rodos.
