Langada
Λαγκάδα
One of the island's highest villages, whose flower-filled white lanes are the starting point for the Theologos Monastery and the Krikelos cliff path.
Langada lies in a valley east of Aegiali, its white walls, blue windows, bougainvillea and pomegranate trees creating a picture that many consider Amorgos's most beautiful village. It is the start of the classic trail: east along the hillside for about an hour to the abandoned Monastery of St John the Theologian (Theologos), then on to the Stavros chapel perched on the cliff, overlooking the Krikelos sea cliffs. The round trip takes 3 to 4 hours. The path is mostly gravel, so carry plenty of water and avoid the midday heat. The village's small tavernas serve local cheese and home cooking. Buses run from Aegiali, a journey of about 10 minutes.
