Kos to Katapola Route Map
Kos to Katapola is the westbound link from the Dodecanese into the Cyclades, run by Blue Star Ferries with the Blue Star 2. The crossing takes a little over three hours and runs via Astypalea, which is the natural stepping stone between the two island groups. Fares start around forty four euros for a foot passenger.
Katapola is one of Amorgos's two ports, a sheltered natural harbour on the west coast with a working village around it. The island's capital, Chora, sits up the hill a short bus ride inland, and the Hozoviotissa Monastery clings to the cliff face further along the coast. Amorgos is a long, mountainous island known for its walking routes and dramatic coastline rather than for resort life.
This runs about once a week, so it is very much a route to plan a journey around rather than a casual hop. The current timetable and fares are shown in the table below. Katapola has onward links to Naxos, the small Cyclades and Piraeus, and Amorgos's second port at Aegiali covers the northeast of the island.

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 Kos to Katapola ferry
- The harbour sits right beside the medieval Castle of the Knights, with ticket agencies lining the waterfront. For domestic sailings on Dodekanisos Seaways and Blue Star ferries, arrive at least 30 to 45 minutes before departure to buy tickets and locate your berth.
- If you are travelling on to Kalymnos, check which port is printed on your ticket – many sailings, including the frequent local car ferries, depart from Mastichari on Kos's north-west coast, not from Kos Town harbour.
- Left-luggage lockers at Kos Town port are limited, so don't rely on finding one at short notice; pack light enough to carry your bags the short walk from the harbour into the old town yourself.
- Wind on open deck is a reliable form of air conditioning in summer – many Greeks head straight to the deck rather than the air-conditioned saloon.
- Senior discounts are offered by several operators for passengers over 65; the discount is applied automatically if you select the correct age category.
