Katapola to Rhodes Route Map
Katapola to Rhodes is the full length of the Cyclades-to-Dodecanese link, worked by Blue Star Ferries' Blue Star 2 in around nine hours. The ship calls at several islands on the way east, so much of the day is spent aboard. It is a large conventional ferry with cabins, lounges and catering, and booking a cabin is worth considering on the longer sailings.
Rhodes is the largest of the Dodecanese and one of the major destinations in the Greek islands, with a UNESCO-listed medieval Old Town built by the Knights of St John. The harbour at Mandraki is the one associated with the legendary Colossus. Beyond the walls there are beaches, resorts and a well-developed transport network across the island.
Sailings on this route are roughly weekly and seasonal, so it is not something to leave to chance. The current timetable and fares are shown below, with fares starting around €39. Rhodes is a hub in its own right, with connections on to the rest of the Dodecanese, to Crete and to Piraeus.

Hiring a car
Is it worth hiring a car in Rhodes?
Worth it if you're staying more than a couple of days, since the island is large and its two bus companies (Roda in the west, KTEL in the east) don't make it easy to combine both coasts in a day. The port is a 10-minute walk from Rhodes Old Town, with paid parking nearby. Compare local suppliers at Discover Cars.

Tips for the Katapola to Rhodes 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.
- Bottled water is available on board but marked up considerably; fill a reusable bottle before boarding.
- Once you arrive in Rhodes, the medieval walled Old Town – a UNESCO World Heritage Site – is one of the best-preserved medieval cities in Europe, with the Street of the Knights and the Palace of the Grand Master as its centrepieces. Tsambika Beach on the east coast and the ancient hilltop site of Lindos are the island's other headline attractions.
