The Monastery of Panagia Hozoviotissa is, without a doubt, Amorgos’ must see attraction. It’s also the island most iconic landmark! It’s located only 5 minutes away from Hora. If you’re going there by car, just park below the monastery or along the road, as there are not many parking spaces. This Monastery dedicated to the Virgin Mary was built in the 11th century, making it the 2nd oldest Monastery in Greece. It’s built on cliffsides, 300 meters above the sea. Its bright white color contrasts with the cliffs, making the place look really impressive. To reach the entrance of the Monastery, you will need to climb the 300 steps stairway. During this short walk, you will enjoy the beauty of the site and have the opportunity to take great pictures. You can visit the inside of the Monastery for free (a donation is appreciated). It won’t take long, as the place is really small.

The Monastery of Hozoviotissa in Amorgos is the second oldest in Greece built in 1017 and renovated 1088, built by Alexius Comnenus I. It is literally hanging on the cliff side 300 m above the sea. The monastery was created as an ode (poem) to the Grace of Panagia, known as the Virgin Mary, which is the patron saint of the island. The icon is carried around to all the villages on the island every year. A perfect blend of nature and the beauty of man’s creation, the monastery symbolizes man’s tribute to the Holy Mother. Built into the face of a cliff, it provides a breathtaking view of the sparkling blue waters of the Aegean Sea. It is with no doubt, the pride of Amorgos, with its pristine walls lined with portraits of monks and other leaders, the smell of incense and numerous little treasures. The monks, who act as guardians of this architectural marvel, serving psimeni raki (a local liqueur) and loukoumi. The current outer look of the monastery is the result of various changes that happened through time. The building is 40m high and 5m width has 8 stories that develop in a larger width utilizing functional wall recesses of rock. There is a labyrinth interior with the church, the cells and the various auxiliary rooms forming a set that with resourcefulness and usability meets the needs of the monastic brotherhood.

It is the most famous visiting place on Amorgos. This is a Monastery built inside the mountain. It is a monument to Greeks and to Orthodox. It was built during the Byzantine period and carries centuries of history. The monks that leave there are willing to share the story of the Monastery with you.
