Useful Resources for Your Greek Island Trip

The last known sailing on this route was on 13 September 2026.

No timetable beyond that date has been published yet. Greek operators often release the next season’s schedules only a few months ahead, so this can be a seasonal pause rather than the end of the route. Check whether it is currently available to book through Ferryscanner.

Ios to Katapola on Amorgos is served by Small Cyclades Lines aboard the Express Scopelitis, taking a little under three hours. The Scopelitis is a small local boat working the chain of minor Cyclades islands, so this is a slow, workaday crossing with stops rather than a direct run. Fares start around €11.

Katapola is one of Amorgos's two main ports, sitting in a sheltered natural harbour on the west coast. It is a working port village rather than a resort, and the island capital, Chora, is a short ride inland. Amorgos itself is known for its dramatic cliff-backed coastline, good hiking, and the Hozoviotissa monastery built into the rock face further along the island.

This is an infrequent link, running a couple of times a fortnight rather than daily, so it needs to be planned around carefully. Current sailings and fares are shown below. Aegiali, on the northeast coast, is Amorgos's other port, and Naxos is the usual alternative interchange if this boat does not fit your dates.
