Ferry from Katapola (Amorgos) to Milos (Adamas)

Katapola to Milos is a long high-speed run across the width of the Cyclades, operated by Seajets on the Super Jet 2 and Superjet in around six hours. Despite being a fast boat, the journey is lengthy because of the calls made at islands along the way. Seating is enclosed and airline-style, and the ride can be firm in a swell, so it is worth taking something for motion sickness if you are prone to it.

Milos is a volcanic island in the southwestern Cyclades, and boats come in at Adamas, a working harbour town on a large natural bay with tavernas, hire outfits and buses on the waterfront. The island is known for its geology, from the white moonscape of Sarakiniko to the coloured cliffs at Firiplaka and Tsigrado. The fishing village of Klima, with its painted syrmata boathouses, is one of the more distinctive sights in the islands.

The service runs around once a day in high season and disappears outside it. The current timetable and fares are shown below; this is an expensive crossing, with fares starting around €105. Milos has good links on to Piraeus, Sifnos, Serifos and Santorini.

Hiring a car

Do you need a car in Milos?

Yes, a car is genuinely useful on Milos. The ferry docks at Adamas, the island's main town and bus hub, so pickup is easy and buses cover Plaka and Pollonia, but the schedule is thin and most of the striking beaches, Sarakiniko, Firiplaka, Tsigrado, sit well outside it. Some access roads are unpaved, where standard insurance is void, so compare 4x4 options at Discover Cars.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tips for the Katapola to Milos 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.
• Shower facilities are available in communal bathrooms on most large overnight ferries; they are usually cleaner early in the voyage than close to arrival.
• Once you arrive in Milos, the volcanic island's extraordinary coastline reveals sea caves, coloured rock formations, and beaches of every kind, from the famous white pumice shores of Sarakiniko to the fishing village of Klima with its boathouses built into the rock. Milos is also the island where the Venus de Milo was discovered in 1820.
