Katapola is the main port of Amorgos where it is located in the center of the island. As we sail near Cape Kaparia on the left and Cape Aspes on the right, the villages by the harbour can be clearly seen. On the left, on the northern side of the harbour, you can see Xylokeratidi with the Church of the Three Hierarchs at the entrance of the town, in the centre you will find Rahidi with the church of St. George appearing first, and on the right, you can see Katapola a town of 485 inhabitants, where the central pier is found. The view from the three villages surrounding the bay, the mountain Moudoulia or Minoa in the southern part of the harbour, over Katapola, the hill with the old stone mill on the northern edge of the bay, over Xylokeratidi, the church of St. Panteleimon on the left and on the right St. Ioannis, of St. Anargyron and the Virgin Mary, altogether compose a magnificent landscape that exists on no other island of Cyclades. When in 1830 the Greek State got organised, a movement in which Amorgos was also involved, and managed to drive the pirates out of the Aegean, Katapola began to slowly become inhabited, firstly by captains and slowly by entrepreneurs who opened shops, built hotels, resulting in a development in tourism that rapidly continues even today.
