All year round in the most of the churches of the island, religious festivals and feasts take place and, so, the old customs are kept and pass from one generation to the other. The inhabitants of the village where a festival is going to be held, contribute to the preparation of the delicious traditional dishes, such as: “patatato”, “xydato” and “kofto”, all accompanied with local wine and bread as well as dance and local music.

The major festivals in Amorgos are the following:
Agios Theologhos, on the 8th of may and the 26th of September.
