Tips for the Milos–Amorgos Ferry
- The eastern coast of islands (lee side) provides shelter from the meltemi; ports on the eastern shore of Mykonos, Naxos, and Paros are usually calmer.
- Group discounts are available on some operators for parties of six or more – contact the operator directly if you cannot see a group rate online.
- In Amorgos, you’ll find dramatic landscapes, superb hiking trails, and the iconic Hozoviotissa Monastery clinging to a sheer cliff face above the sea. The island gained international fame as the filming location for Luc Besson’s film The Big Blue.
