Greek island of Amorgos, tour of the Old Town of Amorgos island (or, Chora, Hora) in Greece. Let's travel to Greece and let's visit the Greek island of Amorgos and the Old Town also known as Chora, or Hora. Chora Village, or Hora is the Old Town of Amorgos: This is the medieval capital of Amorgos, situated 400m above sea level. Chora is an amazing village hidden behind the mountains, dominated by a 13th century Venetian castle, the Kastro.
Surrounded by lovely windmills and full of beautiful Byzantine and early Christian churches, outspread white houses and stone paved little streets, the little wonder of Chora in Amorgos reminds of a labyrinth and has an incredible and particular atmosphere.
The rough paved main square in Chora, Plateia Loza, is amazing, with its little cafes lying under the shadow of the huge eucalyptus trees located in the middle of the Plateia. Chora has the only post office of the island, a police department and medical centre.
Amorgos is the easternmost island of the Cyclades island group and the nearest island to the neighbouring Dodecanese island group in Greece.
