Katapola is the main port of Amorgos, a small harbour town spread around a bay on the west coast. Most visitors arrive here by ferry from Naxos or Piraeus. The harbour front is lined with tavernas and café-bars, and the atmosphere is pleasantly unhurried — somewhere between a working fishing port and a small resort.
Above Katapola on the hillside are the ruins of ancient Minoa, one of the three ancient cities of Amorgos. The site is not heavily developed for tourism but the setting — on a hill overlooking the bay — is fine, and there is a small temple precinct worth exploring. The walk up from the harbour takes about 30 minutes.
