Katapola
Κατάπολα
The island's main ferry port, with three small villages around a deep bay, the most restaurants and accommodation, and the best transport links.
Katapola is Amorgos's main port, where ferries from Piraeus, Naxos and the Small Cyclades usually dock. The harbour is ringed by three small villages: Katapola, Rachidi and Xylokalavo. A seafront path links restaurants, bakeries and small beaches, and the harbour glows warmly in the evening. Transport is convenient, as buses to Chora, the southern beaches and the wreck all leave from the port, making it a good base to stay. The ancient city of Minoa sits on the hill behind the port, about 40 minutes on foot or 10 minutes by car.
