Amorgos Getting there & around

Getting there & away

Until about mid-2009, four times a week in summer, twice a week in winter, Blue Star car ferries run a service from Piraeus via Naxos and the Little Cyclades to Amorgos (€27.50, 9¼ hours). Arrival is in the early hours. Blue Star continues from Amorgos to Astypalea (€15.50, 1½ hours) and Kos (€22.50, 3¼ hours). One Blue Star ferry runs on Sunday from Amorgos to Rhodes (€25.50, 6½ hours).

There are several boats offering weekly services to Paros (€15, three hours) and Syros (€19, 4½hours).

The small ferry Express Skopelitis runs a circular route between Naxos and Amorgos and to the other islands in the Little Cyclades.

Most ferries stop at both Katapola and Aegiali, but well before your date of leaving be sure to check which town is the departure port for that day.
