Maltezi and Plakes beaches in Amorgos

There are two beaches in Katapola, the one that lies below Eleni Rooms, and the one that lies between Katapola and Xilokeratidi. A much better option is Maltezi beach located in a bay after Xilokeratidi. You get here by beach boat from Katapola, or on foot. It takes between 30-40 minutes to walk to Maltezi, depending on how often you stop, it's a very beautiful walk.
