Heraklia to Egiali Route Map
Heraklia to Egiali takes around three and a half hours on Small Cyclades Lines' Express Scopelitis, which threads its way through the rest of the Small Cyclades before reaching northern Amorgos. It is a small local ferry rather than a mainline ship, and the length of the trip reflects the calls rather than the distance. On a calm day the deck is the place to spend it.
Egiali sits in a bay on the north coast of Amorgos, with the villages of Tholaria and Langada on the hillsides above. It is the quieter and more beach-oriented of the island's two ports, with sand at Levrossos and Agia Anna a short walk away. Old stone paths climb from the village to the hill settlements and make for excellent walking.
The boat runs around three times a week rather than daily, so plan the trip around it. The current timetable and fares are shown below, with tickets starting near €8. Amorgos has a second port at Katapola in the south, linked to Egiali by the island bus.

Tips for the Heraklia to Egiali ferry
- The flat bow (prow) area of a large ferry is usually accessible and offers outstanding forward views – one of the best spots to stand during harbour entry.
- The meltemi wind, a strong north-north-westerly, blows across the central and southern Aegean from roughly July through to early September.
- A light cardigan or jacket is still useful in summer – the spray and wind on open deck can make even a 30°C day feel cool when the vessel is at speed.
- Weather apps on your phone are useful as a rough guide but marine-specific forecasts (Poseidon, Windy, Windguru) are more accurate for sea conditions.
- The Cyclades are more exposed to the meltemi than the Dodecanese, which are sheltered by the Turkish coast – a relevant factor when comparing summer sea conditions.
