A ridge of traditional windmills above Amorgos Chora traces the island's grain economy and frames wide views over the whitewashed settlement. The structures are historic landmarks, not climbing platforms. Follow established paths, keep clear of unstable masonry and avoid the ridge in strong wind. Sunset attracts crowds; arrive earlier for safer footing and quieter views, then descend with a torch before lanes become difficult to read.
