The great thing about Amorgos is that it is not that expensive compared to other Greek islands but it has really nice beaches, a relatively quiet nightlife mostly with small bars and restaurants in Chora and great vibes overall.
So, to put it simply in Amorgos, this is where to stay in Amorgos:
- If you want to be close to a beach , stay as close as possible to Aegiali or Agios Pavlos
- If you want the vibes, the nightlife, the cafes and the restaurants then stay in Chora
- If, on the other hand, you want to be close to the main hub and port of the island, stay in Katapola
VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW:

However, the best restaurants, wine bars and shops in Amorgos, are located in Chora so if you are looking for a cuter and slightly busier place (but without any beach). Both Aegiali and Chora can be very busy in August but they are in general much more quiet than other Greek islands on any other month, even in July or September.

Katapola or Aegiali ?
Katapola is the main port of Amorgos but a ferry arrives in Aegiali every other day in the summer months. However, Aegiali and Chora has much more to offer to anyone visiting Amorgos as it has the lovely and lively beach life that cannot be found anywhere else omn the island.

Best Place for Families and Kids in Amorgos
Being a father to two lovely (but cheeky…) girls has taught me one thing: the best playground in the world is a beach! The closer you are to a beach in Greece the better time your kids will have during holidays. So, if you are anything like me and you are visiting Amorgos with your young kids, then staying close to a beach is the best thing you can do. I highly recommend you stay as close to Aegiali beach as possible. There are many excellent hotels and villas around the sandy beach of Aegiali and if for some reason you cannot afford or find a room in Aegialis Hotel & Spa then I highly recommend you stay at Agios Pavlos beach and in the Aquapetra Hotel.

The great thing about Amorgos is that it can actually be a great place for couples who want to go off the beaten path (aka Santorini-Mykonos-Crete). Amorgos is a relatively small island, with one of the cutest capital towns (Chora) but with not that great designed hotels to be honest (ad that is probably a good thing). However, I highly recommend staying in Chora as the last 10 years there is an abundance of cute restaurants, shops and bars that have been developed and now make Chora ideal for a a romantic night out.

CONCLUSION
So, there are the best places to stay in Amorgos!
Amorgos is still a very affordable and underrated Greek island with mainly Greek tourists as it’s not that well known to the outside world. However, it is a lovely quiet Greek island with excellent food choices, nice beaches and one of the most impressive capital towns in Cyclades. It’s definitely worth a visit (or two!).
