Amorgos, Eastern Cycladic island in Aegean Sea, Greece.

The island extends for 126 square kilometers with steep cliffs along its eastern coast and two main harbors at Katapola and Aegiali.

Archaeological excavations revealed settlements from Early Cycladic period, with ancient artifacts and city walls found in Arkesini dating back to 1000 BCE.

Each summer, local communities celebrate traditional festivals with Greek music, dancing performances, and regional food specialties in the mountain villages.

Ferries connect Amorgos to Piraeus port and neighboring islands Naxos and Santorini, with journey times ranging between 1 and 8 hours.

The white Monastery of Panagia Hozoviotissa, built in 1017, stands vertically on a cliff face 300 meters above the Aegean Sea.
