Amorgos (Introduction): The island of Amorgos is situated on the southeastern edge of the Cyclades group. Due to its geographical position, the island became the «gate» from which eastern civilizations reached mainland Greece.
Amorgos is the nearest  island to the Dodecanese with a total length of 33km.  and  a population of approximately 1,800 inhabitants. There are three mountain peaks: Krikelos, (to the north), Profitis Ilias, (in the middle), and Korax, (to the southwest).
Amorgos has two ports, that of Katapola and the one of Egiali. The green island, even though is not large, has many to offer: beautiful beaches, traditional houses, windmills and Venetian castles. It is not  a commercial island. On the opposite, it is a destination for those wishing to have a relaxed vacation.
There are several beaches along the coastline of the island, such as Levroso, Psili Ammos and Hohlakas, (all at a distance of 15 minutes walk from the port). On the nearby small uninhabited island of Nikouria there are also a couple of nice sandy beaches.
The island of Amorgos can be reached by ferry from Piraeus, Rafina, the Cyclades and the Dodecanese.
