Discover the Essence of Cycladic Beauty

In spite of the fact that Amorgos has gained fame, it still holds an unconventional character. An island of Cycladic beauty and God-given views to the Aegean Sea ready to be explored. Infinite blue and all-whitewashed buildings, steep cliffs and picturesque chapels, all add to the amazing scenery. Romantic and sensational, authentic and friendly, Amorgos will take a very special place in your heart right from the start. Explore the island, and you'll find yourself immersed in the serene charm of Amorgos, with its rich history, friendly locals, and captivating landscapes.

Nestled in the heart of the Aegean Sea, the charming village of Tholaria on the island of Amorgos is a hidden gem waiting to be explored. It is the village where Vigla Hotel Amorgos is located and it's perched at an altitude of 182 meters near Vigla, the ancient acropolis of Aegiali. With its white-washed buildings, narrow cobblestone streets, and breathtaking views of Aegiali Bay, Tholaria encapsulates the essence of Cycladic beauty.

Every corner of this traditional village tells a story of ancient Greek culture and island life, transporting you back in time to an era where tranquility and authenticity reigned.

It hosts festivities on July 1st in celebration of Agioi Anargyroi. A church dedicated to them is situated opposite Vigla hotel.

The village boasts proximity to many beaches: Mikri Vlichada, Aegiali and Levrossos. While nearby beaches like Psili Ammos, and Hohlakas provide serene alternatives for swimming enthusiasts seeking a less crowded and relaxing holiday.

Aegiali Bay is located in the north part of Amorgos island, where Vigla Hotel Amorgos is located too. The bay includes three charming villages: Tholaria, Langada, and Potamos. Hiking trails connect these villages, offering picturesque routes. Aegiali Bay features a port with fishing boats, cafes, bars, and restaurants with a sea view. It also has mini markets and souvenir shops.

Authentic Amorgian shops offer souvenirs, jewelry, and local products. Aegiali has a main beachfront with tavernas, beach clubs, and day beach bars, creating a vibrant atmosphere during peak season. It is an ideal destination for walking, enjoying sea views, and exploring the natural beauty of the island.

One of the most beautiful traditional settlements in Amorgos is Chora, the main town of the island and it is located close to the port of Katapola. Surrounded by lovely windmills and full of beautiful Byzantine and early Christian churches, this little wonder is reminiscent of a labyrinth and has an incredible atmosphere.

Explore the rock of the Castle which stands out is a timeless witness of the Venetian presence on the island. Breathe in the magnificent bustle of Chora below with travellers and locals in the midst of small shops, restaurants and bars scattered in its narrow-paved streets and among houses with whitewashed walls and blue-painted doors and windows.

Katapola, situated in the center of Amorgos, serves as the main port with historical significance. The ancient city of Minoa once stood on the hill south of Katapola. As you enter the port, you encounter three charming settlements: Xylokeratidi to the left, Rachidi in the center, and Katapola to the right, each adorned with whitewashed houses and notable churches.

The panoramic view of these settlements, along with the picturesque backdrop of the bay, Mountoulia, and various landmarks, creates a unique Cycladic landscape.

A rural and non-touristy place, situated in the southwest part of Amorgos, where you may find spectacular landscapes and sightseeing of great interest. From windmills and monasteries such as Agios Georgios Valsamitis, to ancient Arkesini (with its acropolis - "Kastri") and the Holy Trinity Tower (ancient Agia Triada), it turns out that this part of Amorgos is a hidden gem.

Finally, do pay a visit to the church of Agia Paraskevi or make a stop for a coffee in Vroutsi village at the old café that is 200 years old!
