FERRIES TO THE ISLAND OF AMORGOS IN THE CYCLADES IN GREECE

There are direct ferries from Pireaus (near Athens) to the island of Amorgos, and it is also possible to reach Amorgos from other islands such as Paros, Naxos, Folegandros and Astipalea. Check the websites of Danea and Blue Star Ferries for the schedules. The picture on the left show the route of the fast ferry from Hellenic Seaways (2008) which makes a stop in Folegandros and then ends in Katapola - Amorgos. It leaves almost every day of the week at 7.00 o'clock in de morning (except wednesdays) and arrives at 11.30, so it takes 4 and a half hour. Please note that I only gather this information from the internet and things change from time to time and from year to year. The ferry from Blue Star (picture on the right) that also makes the way from Piraeus to Amorgos takes much longer because it is not a superfast ferry and it makes stops on more islands. This one leaves at 17.30 in the afternoon and arrives in Egiali at 1.10 in the night after stops in Paros, Naxos and Donoussa. If you check and cannot find any schedules on than you are probably too early and the timetables haven't been approved yet. Please try again later in the season. Sometimes the owner of the hotel you booked knows best and you can ask him / her. You can check the ferries to and from Amorgos here and if you want you can reserve a ticket online (check at Aegiali or Katapola - the two harbours of Amorgos).
