Tips for the Naxos–Amorgos Ferry
- If you are travelling in winter, a compact rain jacket and a warm mid-layer are essential – the on-deck temperature can drop significantly on overnight crossings.
- Bring a portable power bank rated at least 10,000 mAh; charging sockets on ferries are not always reliable, and island power cuts are not unheard of.
- Cabin availability is limited; if you want a cabin on an overnight route, book it the moment you confirm your travel dates.
- 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.
