Lovely, place, aesthetically pleasing in its freshness, but maintaining the sense of this little place belonging to the island. Everything was provided, but more drinking water could be included. It was quite comfortable, thought tiny, the space designed for efficiency and minimal fuss. The veranda looked out to the harbor and was lovely for day use, but also an evening meal with views of the harbor.
It is a mile outside the harbor village, not right in the village of Katopola.There is a walking path to the harbor, but you will need to rent a car to explore the rest of this very Long island of Amorgos. It’s worth it – The Chora, the astounding monastery nearby, and the northern most village of Aegina are all more interesting than Katopola itself. Although there are there some good long walks in Katopola, the good hiking is farther north.
In Katopola there are a variety of tavernas on the eastern side of the harbor. The beach too, looks inviting, but we were there too late in the season to enjoy it.
The hosts were traveling at the time of our visit, but provided someone to meet us and take us to the house. I would have preferred to meet Giannis and Vicky and learned a bit more about visiting and their lives on this fairly remote island of Amorgos, the most eastern of the Cyclades.
