Rhodes to Katapola Route Map
Rhodes to Katapola is the long westbound link from the Dodecanese into the Cyclades, run by Blue Star Ferries with the Blue Star 2. The crossing takes around six and a half hours, routing via Kos and Astypalea, which is the natural bridge between the two island groups. Fares start around forty nine euros.
Katapola is one of Amorgos's two ports, a sheltered natural harbour on the west coast with a small working village around it. The island capital, Chora, sits up the hill a short bus ride away, and the Hozoviotissa Monastery is built into the cliff face further along the coast. Amorgos is long and mountainous, better known for walking and dramatic coastline than for beach resorts.
This runs about once a week, so it is firmly a planned leg rather than a spontaneous hop. The current timetable and fares are shown in the table below. From Katapola there are onward services to Naxos, the small Cyclades and Piraeus, and Amorgos's second port at Aegiali serves the northeast of the island.

Hiring a car
Is it worth hiring a car in Rhodes?
Worth it if you're staying more than a couple of days, since the island is large and its two bus companies (Roda in the west, KTEL in the east) don't make it easy to combine both coasts in a day. The port is a 10-minute walk from Rhodes Old Town, with paid parking nearby. Compare local suppliers at Discover Cars.

Tips for the Rhodes to Katapola ferry
- Rhodes has two separate ferry ports: large car ferries such as Blue Star Ferries use Akandia, while Dodekanisos Seaways catamarans and small boats to Symi depart from Kolona, just outside the Old Town walls – check your ticket for the correct one.
- Akandia port is roughly a 20-minute walk from the Old Town and has no shelter, seating or toilets while you wait, so it is more comfortable to wait in town and take a taxi straight to your ferry.
- Arrive at least one hour before departure to allow time to check in, since boarding for ferries from Rhodes typically closes around 20 minutes before the scheduled sailing time.
- Off-peak routes to smaller Dodecanese or northern Aegean islands rarely require advance booking outside of summer – but always confirm seasonal schedules first.
- Washing clothes at island laundries (found on almost every inhabited island) means you can travel with less; a 3–4 day supply of clothing is usually enough.
