Egiali to Heraklia Route Map

Map of the Cyclades showing the ferry route west from Egiali to Heraklia.

The run from Egiali, on the north coast of Amorgos, to Heraklia is a Small Cyclades Lines service worked by the Express Scopelitis, the small local ferry that ties this group of islands together. It takes around three and a half hours, because the boat threads its way through the Small Cyclades rather than heading straight across. This is an unhurried crossing on a modest vessel, and a calm day makes for a far more comfortable trip.

Heraklia is the westernmost and least populated of the Small Cyclades, and you land at Agios Georgios, the island's simple harbour village and main settlement. There is very little tourism infrastructure, which is precisely the point for most people who come. Quiet beaches, walking routes and the large Agios Ioannis cave, one of the biggest in the Cyclades, are the main things to do.

Sailings run roughly three times a week rather than daily, so it is worth planning around the boat instead of expecting it to fit your day. The current timetable and fares are shown below, with prices on this local run starting at around €8. Naxos is the usual hub if you need to connect onwards beyond the Small Cyclades.

Tips for the Egiali to Heraklia ferry

  • Smoking is permitted only in designated outdoor areas at the stern; the rules are enforced more strictly on newer vessels.
  • Wheelchair ramps are available at most larger ports, but smaller island ports may require assistance from crew – request help when booking.
  • At smaller island ports, the quay surface can be cobblestone, wooden planking, or rough concrete – wheeled bags take a beating and can tip on uneven ground.
