Santorini to Katapola Route Map
The Santorini to Amorgos ferry route is one of the more rewarding island hops in the Cyclades, trading the crowds of Santorini’s famous caldera for the raw, unhurried atmosphere of one of Greece’s most unspoilt islands. Ferries run from April through to October, so there’s no winter service to worry about missing. Departures use Santorini's Athinios port, so allow time for the climb up from the quay if you're coming down from Fira.
Through the season you can count on roughly one ferry per day, with a small uptick to two on some peak summer days — enough to give you flexibility without overcomplicating your planning.

Hiring a car
Is it worth hiring a car on Santorini?
Yes. The ferry port at Athinios sits about 7.5km below Fira up a steep, winding road; the bus takes about 25 minutes and a taxi costs many times the fare. A car lets you reach Oia, Akrotiri and the red and black beaches at your own pace without waiting for infrequent buses; rental desks operate near the port, and you can compare prices across local suppliers at Discover Cars.

Tips for the Santorini to Katapola ferry
- Arrive at Athinios port at least 45 minutes before departure – the switchback access road down the caldera cliff often backs up in summer, and boarding can start earlier than the printed departure time.
- If you're staying in Oia, note that no bus runs directly to or from Athinios port – you'll need to change at Fira, adding a ticket and a wait, so a taxi or pre-booked transfer is usually more practical.
- Collect paper tickets from the Nomikos or Dakoutros travel agency booths at the port as soon as you arrive, rather than waiting until boarding – queues build quickly as departure time approaches.
- If you're travelling by public bus, stow large luggage in the storage compartment underneath rather than carrying it aboard, as space inside is limited, especially on the busy Fira–Oia route.
- The flat bow (prow) area of a large ferry is usually accessible and offers outstanding forward views – one of the best spots to stand during harbour entry.
