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.
