If you want to meet new people, make friends and dance until the early morning hours, then the Camping of Aegiali is the best choice for you. If you prefer to be closer to the picturesque capital of Amorgos with its bars and shops, then we recommend staying at Camping Kastanis. The Municipal Camping of Amorgos is the most easily accessible as it’s within walking distance from the port of Katapola, as well as close to bus stops and shops.
