Katapola to Schinoussa Route Map
Katapola, the main port on Amorgos, sits in a deep, sheltered bay on the island's west coast, a short walk from the village of the same name. From there it's a short hop south-west through open water to Schinoussa, the smallest of the inhabited Small Cyclades, whose harbour is little more than a quay backed by a handful of tavernas. Some sailings run direct; others thread through the Small Cyclades chain, calling at neighbouring islands on the way, which is why the crossing time varies so widely depending on which ferry and which day you catch.
Outside the height of summer, sailings thin out considerably, and on Schinoussa in particular you'll want to check the schedule box above before building a tight itinerary around this route -- it's a small-island service rather than a high-frequency artery, and connections are worth confirming close to travel.

Tips for the Katapola to Schinoussa 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.
- Summer schedules are published by most operators in late March or April; check them as soon as they appear if you are planning a July or August trip.
- Once you arrive in Schinoussa, one of the Small Cyclades, you'll find secluded beaches, charming villages, and an authentically unhurried pace of life well removed from the tourist trail. The island is a fine base for swimming in crystal-clear waters and exploring the local landscape on foot.
