Tips for the Santorini–Amorgos Ferry
- Port areas on Greek islands are compact but they get busy when a ferry arrives. Have your onward transport plan or accommodation address ready so you can move through quickly rather than standing in the way figuring it out.
- Your confirmation email may include a QR code for boarding – screenshot it and zoom in before you reach the scanner so you have a clear, close-up image ready to scan at the gate.
- Sunscreen and insect repellent are considerably cheaper at a supermarket before you board than at island resort shops. Stock up before you leave the mainland.
- Amorgos rewards the curious traveller: dramatic scenery, superb hiking trails, and the iconic Hozoviotissa Monastery, which clings to a sheer cliff face high above the sea. The island gained international fame as the filming location for Luc Besson’s film The Big Blue.
