Iraklia to Katapola Route Map

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

Iraklia 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. Aegiali, Amorgos's northern port, is also reachable on this line and is served by the island bus from Katapola.

  • Catamarans offer a faster crossing but have a lower wind-speed tolerance; in July and August, a booking on a conventional ferry is more likely to run on schedule.
  • Booking directly with the ferry operator's own website often gives you the same price as third-party sites and makes changes or cancellations simpler.
