The house is situated in the heart of a greek village as in the picture-book. The village Chora, located on an elevation of 400 m above sea level, is as you would imagine a greek village: small white houses, lots of churches, narrow alleys, small restaurants. The island of Amorgos is perfect if you don't like the industrial tourism of Santorini or Mykonos. It is still an authentic greek island and you will meet people that really live on this islands.
From the balcony, you have a nice view over the village Chora with its numerous church towers. In the background, one can see the sea of the golf of Katapola. The cars must remain outside the village: so no noise at all. In the alleys, you find small little restaurants with blue tables and chairs, with very moderate prices.
The house itself is several houndreds of years old, and has been completely renovated 3 or 4 years ago: the house has still the authentic character, but combined with modern aspects. The house is clean.
In direct neighborhood, there is a small restaurant selling delicious greek sweets. Very friendly people. We had a lot of fun watching the semi-finals and finals of the soccer world championship. The restaurant had organized a "public viewing" for the local people.
The owner of the house, Marco Perazzi, lives with his family in the summertime in Aegiali on Amorgos, and in the winter in Milan Italy. He is very friendly, uncomplicated and helpful and speaks several languages. He took us with his car from the port of Katapola to Chora.
On the island, you can easily travel with public buses which follow perfectly the schedule, or you can go around by walk or with bikes in the nature. Amorgos is mountainous and therefore a paradise for hikers and bikers. Renting a car on daily basis is also no problem and for little money, without reservation, even in the village of Chora.
There are several nice beaches on Amorgos: the best ones in our eyes: Agia Anna, Muros.
In summary, we can really recommend this house for your next holidays.
