OUR APPROACH:

Pagali is one of the ancient names of Amorgos. It translates to mean “The Very Beautiful” and is also depicted by a female diety with open and embracing arms. Pagali Hotel is located in the beautiful hill village of Langada, Amorgos.

The travelers that find their way here are seeing more than a typical vacation. They come instead to experience a timeless culture and to hike on ancient paths with panoramic views of the mountains or the sea.

Landaga is three kilometres through wildflowers, singing cicadas and olive grooves to the beach and the port town of Aegiali.

Adjacent to Pagali Amorgos Hotel is the popular restaurant – taverna Nikos, which offers daily fresh bread from the ovens of Vassalos bakery next door, organic vegetables from the garden, local goat on the grill, organic locally produced olive oil, homemade wines and cheeses, farm-fresh eggs and free-range poultry, along with many house specialities.

The meals are enjoyed on the veranda, under a terrace of grapes, bougainvillea and wisteria, while gazing at the spectacular sunset behind the uninhabited, mysterious island of Nikouria.
