This easy walk of great natural beauty starts from Katapola and continues to the monastery of Agios Georgios Valsamitis. The area has a variety of wells which flow during periods of rain. On the way back you pass near the church of Agia Marina and come to the ancient Minoa, on a hill above Katapola.
The walk ends in Katapola, on the road that leads to the temple of Saint Nicolas.
Ancient Minoa retains the city walls, stadium, gymnasium and temple of Dionysus. On the same hill are the ruins that confirm the presence of inhabitants on Amorgos since 4000 BC. The area was a cemetery in the Cycladic period and here is the Mycenaean tomb which has the shape of an arch.
