Far away, to the east, in the Archipelago rises the islandic ridge of Amorgos, lonely and eerie. Although it lies in the middle of the open sea, its oblong shape, reminiscent of a gigantic snake, literally obscures the horizon to the traveller coming from the west on his way to the Eastern Aegean. It is as if the Cyclades look forward to blocking any sailing beyond their boundary, giving the newcomer the impression that the end of the world must be somewhere near about.

To a perceptive mind, Amorgos remains an immemorial sea crossroads where East meets West, where both are assimilated into high quality composition. The island lies across the waters of the Aegean like a sharp arrow signalling the way to the East. Its people likewise have preserved to our days, with clarity and straightforwardness, both in their look and their soul, that which once was called Innocence and Kindness. These qualities have been raised to an enviable standard through the historical experiences of pain, stoicism and the struggle of the Amorgeans to secure their survival.

Amorgos is the Sun and Cliff, Hardship and Smile, Storm and Joviality... It is the land where "God is great" and "God will provide"! From the fea blessed springs parental optimism still gushes forth, the immemorial and unbeatable weapon, the holy acquisition of theAmorgeansoul.

The astonishing Monastery of Hozoviotissa -the pride of Amorgos- is remarkable and seems been pressed on the cliff 300 meters above the sea. In Hora there is a chapel -Agios Fanourios- which is claimed to be the smallest chapel in Greece, having room for two prayers only.
