Maltezi Beach Amorgos
Maltezi beach is situated northwest to Katapola port. It is a sandy
beach and by all standards the most picturesque on Amorgos Island.
Maltezi beach remains unaffected by the Meltemi winds. The sea here
is bluish green and the sand is fine. Due to these qualities it has
remained one of the favourite beach destinations among
tourists.
How to get there
Maltezi beach can be accessed by boat, plying between Katapola port
and Maltezi. Alternately, one can go on foot and walk a trail for
about 30 minutes to Maltezi passing through the settlement of
Xilokeratidi. One can least expect shade in Maltezi beach and a
beach umbrella would be a nice proposition if sunbathing is a
priority.
Starting your trip from the parking lot of Katapola you pass the
small and picturesque village of Xilokeratidi, it stands out with
the church of Tris Ierarches at the begining of the village and
nice cafes along the shore.
Follow then the path at N 36° 49.899 E 025° 51.850, walking by a
cemtary direcly besides the sea and coming to a small island with
the small church of Aghios Pantelemonas
The cache
The cache container is a round plastic box approximately 12cm in
diameter hidden below ground but above the water in a hole in the
cliff that is easily reachable and well seen from the beach of
maltezi. Watch your step as the cache is in an exposed
position!
If you have troubles finding the cache, look at the spoiler
