Ferry from Katapola (Amorgos) to Sifnos (Kamares)

Amorgos and Sifnos sit at opposite ends of the Cyclades' southern arc, and the ferry between them is one of the longer inter-island hops you'll find in the group. You leave from Katapola, Amorgos's working harbour on the island's south coast, a fair drop below Chora, which is perched on the cliffs above. On the other end you land at Kamares, Sifnos's main port, a few kilometres down the hill from the capital, Apollonia, so budget time and a bus or taxi fare for the final leg either way.

Given the distance involved, this isn't a route with sailings scattered through the day -- expect a single crossing on most days it runs, rather than a choice of times. Check the schedule box above for the latest confirmed dates and departure times before you plan around it.

Hiring a car

Can you rent a car in Sifnos?

Yes, and it's worth having one. The ferry lands at Kamares, and the drive up the winding valley road to the capital, Apollonia, takes about ten minutes; most rental firms have desks at the port to match ferry arrivals. Sifnos's road network is compact and easy to navigate, so a car gets you around the hilltop villages and beaches without waiting on buses. Compare local suppliers at Discover Cars.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tips for the Katapola to Sifnos 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.
• A two-berth inside cabin is the most practical option for a couple – it is private, quiet, and significantly cheaper than an outside cabin with a porthole.
• Once you arrive in Sifnos, the island's reputation for exceptional food – rooted in a centuries-old pottery and cooking tradition – is upheld by the tavernas in the attractive villages of Apollonia, Artemonas, and the hilltop Kastro. The Church of the Seven Martyrs, perched on a rocky promontory above the sea, is one of the most photographed sights in the Cyclades.
