Ferry from Naxos (Chora) to Katapola (Amorgos)

The Naxos to Amorgos ferry route takes you from one of the Cyclades’ largest and most varied islands to one of its most dramatic and remote. It’s a crossing that rewards travellers willing to venture a little further east, away from the busier island circuits. Ferries run from March through to October, giving you a solid window across spring, summer, and the quieter autumn months.

Frequency builds steadily as the season progresses. In the shoulder months you can expect around two departures a day, while peak summer brings up to five sailings daily — useful if your itinerary is tight or you’re travelling as part of a larger island-hopping trip.

Hiring a car

Is it worth hiring a car on Naxos?

Yes, it is worth it. Naxos is the largest Cycladic island, and its best beaches and mountain villages, Apollonas, Halki, the Tragaea, are 30 to 45 minutes' drive from Naxos Town. Rental desks sit right at the ferry quay, a one-minute walk from the bus terminal. Buses cover the main coast road, but a car gets you into the interior. Compare local suppliers at Discover Cars.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tips for the Naxos to Katapola ferry

• Expect a short walk into town – Naxos port sits right at the edge of Chora, with shops, cafés and the Portara landmark only a few minutes away, so you will not need a taxi if your accommodation is central.
• Arrive at least 45 minutes before departure and confirm your departure gate on the day, since Naxos is one of the busiest Cycladic ports, with several operators and vessels often docked at once.
• If you are catching the Express Skopelitis local ferry to the Small Cyclades, it usually berths away from the main quay used by Blue Star and the high-speed ferries, so check where it is tied up when you arrive.
• Alcohol makes seasickness worse; if the crossing is rough, stick to water and plain foods.
• Disembarkation is fast on small short-hop ferries; station yourself near the exit before the vessel reaches the harbour to avoid being last off.
