Youkali

Top choice in Amorgos


Wander over to the opposite side of the bay from the port for Katapola's most imaginative cooking. That ingredients are fresh and locally sourced goes without saying; try them in combos such as orzo with beetroot and zucchini, meatballs with leek sauce, and linguine with shrimps. Friendly service, beautiful presentation.
