An island of spirituality and purity, Amorgos is famous for its wonderful chapels that dot the countryside, from one side of the island to the other. These chapels have a peaceful atmosphere and are surrounded by gorgeous nature, with wild mountainsides, sparse greenery and blue sky that dominate the Cyclades. Such a lovely chapel is the church of Agios Georgios Valsamitis in Amorgos, spotted on the southern side of the island.

Built in the 17th century, this small church is a dependency of Hozoviotissa Monastery. Located about 4.5 km south of Chora, on the way to Kamari and Arkesini, Agios Georgios Valsamitis stands on top of a hill, overlooking the valley beneath and the sea.
The chapel is white-washed and has a paved courtyard. Inside, the atmosphere is so solemn, with beautiful icons and a lovely iconostasis. It is a three-aisled basilica with an arched roof and a tall bell tower. Right next to the church lies an old watermill.
