Ferry from Katapola (Amorgos) to Koufonissi

Amorgos and Koufonisi sit close together at the eastern edge of the Cyclades, and the short hop between them is one of the easiest crossings in the group. Katapola, Amorgos's main harbour, is a working port rather than a purpose-built terminal, so boats tie up close to the waterfront and there's little walking involved getting from quay to town. Koufonisi's dock sits right by its small main village, so arrival is just as straightforward at the other end. Check the schedule box above for the latest confirmed dates before you travel, since operators file each new season in stages rather than all at once.

Several crossings a day run at the height of summer, with the smaller high-speed boats covering the distance quickly and the larger conventional ferries taking noticeably longer because they call at other islands along the way. That spread explains the wide range in journey times -- pick a high-speed sailing if you want the shortest possible hop, or a slower ferry if the detour suits your onward plans. Departures thin out as the season winds down, so always check the frequency shown above rather than assuming the summer pattern holds year-round.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tips for the Katapola to Koufonissi ferry

• Amorgos has two ferry ports, Katapola in the south and Aegiali in the north, about 20km apart by road and roughly 30 to 40 minutes' drive. Always check which port your ticket departs from before setting off, as the two are not interchangeable.
• The Donoussa crossing is usually run by the small Express Skopelitis ferry, which is more sensitive to rough weather than larger vessels on the main Piraeus routes. In poor conditions check locally, as sailings can be delayed or cancelled at short notice.
• A local bus links Chora to Katapola port, but its timetable shifts seasonally and is only loosely tied to ferry times, so confirm departure times locally rather than relying on a fixed schedule, especially for early sailings.
• Routes that are seasonal only often have limited or no service in winter; neighbouring islands may require a land or air connection during the closed period.
• Four-berth cabins offer the best value if you are travelling as a family or small group; the cost divided between you is often comparable to a budget hotel room.
