This field excursion focuses on structural and metamorphic aspects in the island of Amorgos, which is normally considered to represent the stratigraphy of external units in the Hellenides. The excursion includes two itineraries. The first one is in the area northwest of Katapola, where two distinct high-pressure units are exposed. High-pressure mineral assemblages include (1) blue amphibole, garnet and clinopyroxene; and (2) Fe-Mg-carpholite, quartz, phengite and paragonite. The contact between the two units is a low angle detachment fault. The second itinerary starts in the famous monastery of Hozoviotíssas and ends in the northern port of Egiali. The excursion passes through some good examples of folding and provides constraints on the multiple-phase deformation history of the island.
