Donousa to Katapola Route Map
Donousa to Katapola takes a little over two hours on Small Cyclades Lines' Express Scopelitis, the small ferry that works this group of islands. It does not go straight there, which is why the crossing takes longer than the map suggests. The Scopelitis is a modest boat with limited indoor space, so a settled sea makes a real difference.
Katapola is the busier of Amorgos's two ports, set in a sheltered natural harbour on the west side of the island. It is a working port village with tavernas and rooms along the waterfront, and buses up to Chora, the island capital, a few kilometres inland. The Hozoviotissa Monastery, built into a cliff face further along the coast, is the island's best-known sight and reached by bus and a stretch of steps.
The boat runs roughly three times a week, so this is a route to plan around. The current timetable and fares are shown below, with tickets starting around €7. Amorgos also has a northern port at Aegiali, and the island bus connects the two if your onward sailing goes from there.

Tips for the Donousa to Katapola ferry
- July and August are the busiest months on almost every Greek ferry route; expect crowded vessels, longer boarding queues, and higher prices.
- Sunscreen and insect repellent are both considerably cheaper at a supermarket before you board than at island resort shops; stock up on the mainland.
- Sun loungers or open deck chairs are available on most large ferries – these are extremely popular in summer and fill quickly after departure.
- When boarding is announced, move promptly – gangways can be crowded and ferries do occasionally depart a minute or two early once all vehicles are loaded.
- Reclining seats in the standard passenger class are comfortable enough for a 3–4 hour nap; bring a small travel pillow and a light blanket.
