Schinoussa to Katapola Route Map

Map of the Cyclades showing the ferry route east from Schinoussa to Katapola.

Schinoussa to Katapola runs anywhere from about an hour and a half to more than four hours, depending entirely on which boat you take. Blue Star Ferries uses the Blue Star Naxos on the quicker, more direct version, while the little Express Scopelitis of Small Cyclades Lines works the long island-hopping variant. Both are worth checking against the clock before booking, since the difference is a whole afternoon.

Katapola is the busier of Amorgos's two ports, a sheltered natural harbour and working village on the west coast, with the island capital of Chora a short bus ride up the hill. From here travellers reach the Hozoviotissa Monastery clinging to the cliffs further along the island, and the walking routes that Amorgos is known for. The waterfront has ticket agents, tavernas and rooms within a few minutes of the quay.

Between the two operators there are one or two departures most days in season. Exact times, vessels and current fares are listed in the timetable below. If Katapola does not suit, Egiali in the north is the alternative arrival point on the same island, served on some of the same sailings.

Tips for the Schinoussa to Katapola ferry

  • On very short crossings of under 30 minutes, there may be no cafeteria service – buy drinks and snacks before boarding if you need them.
  • The Greek domestic ferry network runs year-round on most major routes – even in winter you can reach Santorini, Mykonos, Rhodes, and Crete by sea.
  • On a sunny day, the sheltered lee side of the vessel (the side facing away from the wind) is the most comfortable spot on the outer deck.
  • Winds above Force 8 will cancel almost all Greek ferry services; in summer these conditions are very unusual but not impossible, especially with deep Mediterranean lows.
  • Medicines, including seasickness tablets and any prescription drugs, should always be in your day bag, not buried in hold luggage.
