Ferry from Koufonisi to Katapola (Amorgos)

Koufonisi to Katapola is one of the better-served links out of the Small Cyclades, worked by Blue Star Ferries, Seajets and Small Cyclades Lines. The fast boats do it in around twenty-five minutes and the Blue Star Naxos in not much more, while the Express Scopelitis, calling through the other small islands, takes over three hours. Check which boat you are on before assuming it is a quick hop.

Katapola sits in a sheltered natural harbour on the west coast of Amorgos and is the busier of the island's two ports. It is a working village with tavernas and rooms along the water and buses up to Chora, the capital, a few kilometres inland. The Hozoviotissa Monastery, built into a cliff face along the coast, is the island's signature sight.

There are typically three or four sailings a day across the operators in season. The current timetable and fares are shown below, with tickets starting around €5.50 on the local boat. Amorgos's other port, Aegiali, is in the north and linked to Katapola by the island bus if your onward ferry goes from there.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tips for the Koufonisi to Katapola ferry

• Koufonisi's port sits in Chora, the island's only village, so most accommodation is a short walk from the dock; even so, arrive at least 30 minutes before your ferry to Paros is due to depart.
• Book your ferry to Paros online in advance, especially in July and August, since sailings on this small network fill quickly; Chora's travel agency also sells tickets locally, but do not rely on it as your only option.
• From June to September, meltemi winds can bring rough seas and cause Small Cyclades ferries to cancel sailings at short notice; check your ferry company's status before setting out for the port.
• Cancellation policies vary by operator – most offer a full refund if cancelled more than 24 hours before departure, but read the small print before you book.
• When booking a multi-island itinerary, save a PDF or screenshot of each confirmation; email may not load reliably when you are at a small island port.
