Amorgos is the eastern tip of the Cyclades, Greece and lived in the ancient trade route of transportation. This island formerly called Yperia and Melania (often nicknamed Agoudouras), refers to a kind of blackish color plant oak Aegialis covering the valley and used as a tanner.

While there, I found that the local indigenous people hoping to protect the environment and cultural heritage, while still promoting tourism for tourists who want to learn the ins and outs of the history of the island.

In my eyes, like a human being Amorgos, footpath and grass or the sun, ocean and rocks, the image of an island that was retarded. This place seems perfect for the traveler than the tourist because they could use the time to enjoy the ancient sights, feel the life of the original onal traditions, recognize a variety of construction and architectural style of stone houses, warehouses, churches (of about 365 pieces) and the old chapel ( 40 pieces).

It says suitable for adventurer because the road conditions here resemble winding alleys and climb terrain that they can freely wander along the narrow aisles while on the way they will find a lot of wild plants and herbs and spices that can be eaten, followed taking a rest at “tavermas”, local resting place in a friendly environment while admiring the old buildings made from stone and looking at plots of the narrow, winding streets and maybe buy some crafts of choice.

The area is also quite a highlight is the convent of the Blessed Virgin Mary Chosoviotissa “Byzantine Monastery of Panaghia Hozoviotissa” namely, an ancient Roman buildings and museum founded in 1088 where there emblazoned religious manuscripts and relics of 11th-12th century. Another tour that should not be missed is a visit to the old capital of Hora (now named Chora) with a path that play where there are archaeological museums, interesting shops and tavernas.

A dry stone wall for miles in length to make borders and establish the steps to illustrate the potential of agricultural land in the UNESCO heritage features. Port Aegiali Langada with three traditional villages, Tholaria, and Potamos blend with the surrounding hills and Ormos, the port, the beach resort is a decent place to visit.

Efficacy for the treatment plant

Amorgian plant abundant wild with the distinctive aroma and its healing properties have aroused the traditional herbal therapy business in Langada.

Stores “Natural Therapy” which managed to sell various kinds of herbal treatment package.

Treatments, including acupuncture, also can be found at the clinic. Taverna O Nikos, among others along the small roads winding, adding atmosphere and help us to pamper your feet.

We passed a lot of the aisle and try to identify several types of medicinal plants that we have encountered along the journey. Oregano (fitilaki), a kind of herb, sage (flaskomilo), other types of smells fragrant herb that grows wild, say there are about 680 different species between Aegiali and Thoralia. There is one species that have small flowers can be used as a wick lamp and oil floating on top and papoulia plants, with yellow flowers that contain honey in them, used as a sedative.

Potika young shoots of plants can be consumed like asparagus and madragouros, with broad, flat leaves, purple flowers and fruit found in traditional medicines. Animals goats which inhabit the islands, the population reached about 25,000 tails aspartas who loved plants yellow flowers with leaves that resemble sharp nails, and azoiras whose story could help the animals that produce milk which is good.

We then explore Stroubo a remote village, located between Langada and Thoralia. We could feel how hard life of the community in the past. If you go there, try to notice the unique architecture is all around, like the top of the triangle above the entrance to the house of the population (the symbol is believed to bring luck), hinge walls and fences made of stone chimney that pulled, and thresher machine sphere-shaped grains are made of stone.

Here you will often find the animal the donkey because it is the main means of transport most residents Amorgos, given the region’s road field winding and sometimes difficult to pass. Looking more closely at the subtleties of the population lives on this island, maybe you will feel like staying a while longer here. “Exploration and impregnated” and appreciate the degree of human life around the area bleak and unforgettable scenery.
