Aegiali
is an Amorgian small world consisted of its three traditional
villages, Langada, Tholaria and Potamos
climbing the slope of the highest mountain
on Amorgos, Krikellos (821). They are built above the deep
valley and the harbor of Aegiali, which is a port with all
the tourist services available. A beautiful sandy beach
spans the gentle curve of the bay. Potamos is overlooking
Ormos, the harbor, and is the village with the best-preserved
architecture in the area.
Langada is located at the end of the valley in an
idyllic location among steep rocky peaks and deep valleys.
It is quite easy to reach the port from here on foot or
by a car. There are exciting sights to be discovered while
hiking or walking on the numerous trails of the area. The
gorge of Araklos, the historical church of Agia Triada,
the old church of Panagia Epanohoriani, the half-ruined
settlement of Stroumbos and the exceptional beauty of the
natural landscape can be admired.
Within
one hour's walk from Langada one can see the unique Byzantine
monument of Theologos, a monastery of early Byzantine years.
A bit further, the historical little chapel of Stavros is
situated. In most of these locations traditional festivals
take place every year, in memory of the patron saints, and
many people from the island participate in the celebrations.
Tholaria,
with its extremely hospitable people is built close to the
location of the ancient city of Aegiali (Vigla). The village
celebrates on the 1st of July the name day St. Anargiri.
The good location of the village allows easy access to many
beaches and the port. The crystal clear sea of Aegiali offers
unforgettable moments. Besides the main sandy beach, locarions
