Where to stay in Amorgos
Amorgos is a relatively small island with few accommodation options. Its rough terrain made it world-famous after the movie Big Blue was shot there.
The great thing about Amorgos is that it is not expensive compared to other Greek islands. Still, it has lovely 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:
- If you want to be close to a beach, stay as close as possible to Aegiali or Agios Pavlos.
- Stay in Chora if you wish to experience the vibes, the nightlife, the cafes, and the restaurants.
- If, on the other hand, you want to be close to the central hub and port of the island, stay in Katapola.
VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW:
Best Place To Stay In Amorgos (overall)
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), this is the place for you. Both Aegiali and Chora can be very busy in August, but they are generally much quieter than other Greek islands in any other month, even in July or September.

Best Place for First Time in Amorgos
I think Chora in Amorgos is the cutest place to stay, which is probably why this island needs to be visited (along with its famous monastery and Agia Anna beach…). If you want to experience the vibes of Amorgos for the first time, then you need to stay in Chora and rent a car to move around on the island, as you need to visit a beach during the summer months. Even better, if you want to experience both worlds, you can stay 3 days in Chora and another 3 days in Aegiali to live on the beach for a bit.
Best Place for Families and Kids in Amorgos
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. If you cannot afford a room at the Aegialis Hotel & Spa, I highly recommend staying at Agios Pavlos beach and the Aquapetra Hotel.

FAQs
What is the best place to stay in Amorgos?
The best place to stay in Amorgos is Aegiali because it has the best sandy beach on the island, excellent restaurants, and is close to the traditional villages of Tholaria and Lagada. If you prefer nightlife, cafes, and traditional architecture over being near a beach, Chora is the best option.
Should I stay in Katapola or Aegiali?
You should stay in Aegiali instead of Katapola. While Katapola is the main port, it is small and lacks the vibrant atmosphere of other towns. Aegiali offers a beautiful beach, a lively restaurant strip, and a much better overall holiday experience.
Where is the best place to stay in Amorgos for families?
The best place to stay in Amorgos for families with kids is Aegiali or Agios Pavlos. Aegiali has a long, flat sandy beach and a convenient restaurant strip, making it very easy and safe for children. Agios Pavlos is also a great, quiet alternative with easy beach access.
Where is the most romantic place to stay in Amorgos for couples?
Chora is the most romantic place to stay in Amorgos for couples. It is one of the most artistic and picturesque towns in the Cyclades, filled with traditional kafeneia, narrow white-washed alleys, and excellent wine bars, making it perfect for a romantic getaway.
Where should I stay in Amorgos for the first time?
For first-time visitors, Chora is the best place to stay to experience the authentic vibe of Amorgos. However, because Chora does not have a beach, you will need to rent a car to visit the beaches and the famous Hozoviotissa monastery. Alternatively, splitting your time with 3 days in Chora and 3 days in Aegiali is highly recommended.
