Heraklia to Katapola Route Map

Map of the Cyclades showing the ferry route east from Heraklia to Katapola.

Heraklia to Katapola is worked by both Blue Star Ferries on the Blue Star Naxos and Small Cyclades Lines on the Express Scopelitis. The Blue Star does it in under two hours; the Scopelitis, which calls at the other small islands, takes closer to four and a half. One is a large conventional ship, the other a small local ferry, and the trip feels quite different on each.

Katapola is the busier of Amorgos's two ports, a working village around a sheltered natural harbour on the west coast. Tavernas and rooms line the waterfront and buses run up to Chora, the island capital, a few kilometres inland. The cliff-set Hozoviotissa Monastery, further along the coast, is the island's best-known sight.

Between the two operators there is usually more than one sailing most days in season. The current timetable and fares are shown below, with tickets starting around €7. Egiali, Amorgos's northern port, is also reachable on this line and is served by the island bus from Katapola.

Tips for the Heraklia to Katapola ferry

  • Pets travel in a dedicated area on most Greek ferries; book your pet's space when you book your own ticket as places are limited.
  • In autumn, the combination of warm sea and cooling air can produce dramatic storms – watch the forecast carefully for trips in October and November.
  • Prices on Greek ferry routes are generally fixed by the operator – unlike airlines, there is no dynamic pricing that rewards booking at odd hours.
