Aegiali
Αιγιάλη
A harbour town on the northeast coast with the island's longest beach, and a second hub for accommodation, diving and hiking.
Aegiali (Ormos Aegialis) lies at the northeastern tip of the island, where ferries also call. The crescent-shaped bay has Amorgos's longest beach, with shallow water that is good for swimming, and the waterfront is lined with tavernas, cafés and diving centres. Three mountain villages nearby, Tholaria, Langada and Potamos, are connected by trails, forming the island's most developed hiking network, and there is a hiking festival each spring and autumn. A classic evening is to sit at the harbour, watch the fishing boats come and go, and eat fresh seafood. Buses run between Aegiali, Chora and Katapola, taking about 30 to 40 minutes.
