Katapola Port
on Amorgos
Katapola Bay is a magnificent deep bay with steep cliffs dropping
sheer into the sea. The small village of Katapola is a pleasant
relaxed spot and the harbour quite secure. Few tourists come here,
although recently there has been an influx of backpackers who have not
helped the foreigner's image in Amorgos. The Chora above (the
island's capital) is a typically Cycladic town attractive to all
visitors.
With the "meltemi" (N-NW wind) there are strong
gusts into the bay though these lift at
Katapola.
To berth, go stern-to, or
bows-to, the quay under the lee of the ferry
quay. The bottom is mostly sand and
weed with some rocks - good holding once the
anchor bites.
Note: Sewerage emptying
into the harbour makes it smelly in the
summer heat.source & more info:

Connections
- Limited ferry-boat connection to Athens, Naxos and Rhodes.

during summer.
- Closest airport is Paros' airport with internal Greek and
very few international flights. The airport is small and only the
smaller crafts can land here.
