Katapola to Kos Route Map
Katapola on Amorgos to Kos is a long eastward crossing on Blue Star Ferries' Blue Star 2, taking around five and a half hours. It is one of the routes that links the Cyclades with the Dodecanese, so it covers real open water and calls at islands along the way. The ship is large and stable, with cabins, seating lounges and food on board, which makes the length of the trip easy enough to absorb.
Kos is a big, busy Dodecanese island close to the Turkish coast, and the main harbour sits right beside Kos Town's medieval Castle of the Knights. Arrivals find a proper town with hotels, buses and car hire immediately to hand. The island is flat and much of it is explored by bicycle, with beach resorts along the coast and the ancient Asklepieion a short ride out of town.
This is a once-a-week sort of service rather than a daily one, and it is seasonal in nature, so it needs planning well ahead. The current timetable and fares are shown below, with tickets starting around €43. From Kos there are frequent onward links to Rhodes, Kalymnos, Patmos and the rest of the Dodecanese.

Hiring a car
Can you rent a car in Kos?
Yes. The ferry port sits right in Kos Town, about 2km from the centre, a 20-25 minute walk or five-minute drive, with rental desks nearby. Buses run regularly between the main towns but thin out fast once you leave them, so a car is worth it if you want to reach the Asclepion, Mount Dikeos villages or the quieter beaches.

Tips for the Katapola to Kos ferry
- Amorgos has two ferry ports, Katapola in the south and Aegiali in the north, about 20km apart by road and roughly 30 to 40 minutes' drive. Always check which port your ticket departs from before setting off, as the two are not interchangeable.
- The Donoussa crossing is usually run by the small Express Skopelitis ferry, which is more sensitive to rough weather than larger vessels on the main Piraeus routes. In poor conditions check locally, as sailings can be delayed or cancelled at short notice.
- A local bus links Chora to Katapola port, but its timetable shifts seasonally and is only loosely tied to ferry times, so confirm departure times locally rather than relying on a fixed schedule, especially for early sailings.
- If you are prone to seasickness and see a Force 5–6 forecast, take preventive medication the night before as well as on the morning of travel.
- In Kos, ancient history and beach life sit side by side – the Tree of Hippocrates in Kos Town is said to be the very spot where the father of medicine taught, while the nearby Asklepion was one of antiquity's most important healing sanctuaries. The island's long sandy beaches and flat terrain, ideal for cycling, make it one of the most accessible of the Dodecanese.
