Amorgos - Paros: Ferry tickets and routes

Amorgos - Paros: Ferry tickets and sailing schedules

Travelling from Amorgos to Paros connects the eastern Cyclades with one of the Aegean's most important ferry transport hubs.

The route serves residents, professionals and visitors who want to continue their holidays on another island without returning to Piraeus.

For passengers departing from Amorgos, there is one particularly important detail: the island has two passenger ports, Katapola and Aegiali.

Choosing the correct departure port should come before selecting your preferred seat, as travel distances across the island and different departure schedules can affect your journey.

Through booktickets.gr, you can compare available ferry connections, select passenger and vehicle tickets and complete your booking online.

Katapola or Aegiali: Which departure port should you choose?

Katapola is located on the southwestern side of Amorgos and serves as the island's main port.

Conventional ferries and seasonal high-speed vessels depart from here, offering different connections towards Paros.

Aegiali is situated on the northwestern side of the island and serves residents and visitors staying in the surrounding area, including Tholaria and Lagada.

Departures from Aegiali are operated by conventional Blue Star Ferries vessels.

If you are staying near Chora, check which departure best fits your transfer arrangements.

Amorgos is a mountainous island, and travelling between its different areas requires careful planning, particularly when carrying luggage or travelling with children.

Which ferries operate between Amorgos and Paros?

Blue Star Ferries serves the connection throughout the year with conventional passenger and vehicle ferries.

Published schedules include Blue Star Naxos and Blue Star Delos, which connect Amorgos with other Cycladic islands and Piraeus.

During the tourist season, Seajets offers high-speed connections from Katapola, reducing the overall journey time.

Choosing between a conventional ferry and a high-speed vessel depends on your travel date, ticket availability, vehicle transportation requirements and preferred journey duration.

Previous seasonal schedules have also included services operated by Hellenic Seaways. Any such departure should be confirmed for the specific travel date.

Ferry ticket prices for passengers and cars

The lowest recorded passenger fares start from €11.50 on selected Blue Star Ferries departures.

Published fare information on booktickets.gr also includes standard passenger tickets from €31 on conventional ferries, while seasonal Seajets connections have been listed from €52.70.

For a standard passenger car, fares from €43 have been recorded with Blue Star Ferries.

Passenger and vehicle fares are calculated separately. The final price is confirmed during booking.

Before selecting your ticket, consider:

1. Your departure port on Amorgos.
2. The ferry company and specific vessel.
3. The seating category or availability of cabins.
4. Whether you need to transport a car or motorcycle.
5. Available discounts and fare conditions.

The lowest fare is not always the most convenient option, especially if reaching a different port on Amorgos requires additional transportation.

Which intermediate stops do ferries make?

Conventional ferries do not all follow the same itinerary.

Departures from Katapola may include stops at Koufonisi, Schinoussa, Iraklia and Naxos before reaching Paros.

From Aegiali, some sailings travel via Donoussa and Naxos.

These intermediate stops form part of the same journey. Passengers holding tickets to Paros remain onboard the same ferry and do not need to transfer to another vessel.

High-speed connections may include fewer stops and follow a different route through the Cyclades.

This is why checking the arrival time is just as important as checking the departure time.

How frequently do ferries operate?

The Amorgos - Paros connection is also served during the winter season by conventional ferries.

Published schedules include departures from Katapola and Aegiali on selected days of the week.

During summer, additional high-speed services increase the available travel options.

However, there is no single daily schedule that applies throughout the year to both departure ports.

If you are travelling with a fixed return date or have a scheduled flight from Paros, it is important to check available ferry departures before arranging the rest of your journey.

The port is particularly convenient for travellers staying in Aegiali, Tholaria or Lagada.

Taking a car and choosing onboard seating

Conventional passenger and vehicle ferries have garages for transporting cars and motorcycles.

When booking, you must enter the correct vehicle category and details.

Garage availability is checked separately from passenger seat availability.

Conventional ferries offer economy seating, numbered seats and, where available, passenger cabins.

A cabin may be useful for families with children or passengers who prefer additional privacy during their journey.

If you intend to transport a rental car to Paros, obtain permission from the rental company beforehand.

If you plan to continue your journey by air from Paros, remember to allow time for the road transfer to the airport.

Can you travel via Naxos?

In this case, separate reservations are required, and departure times must be checked carefully.

A connection is not automatically guaranteed when different tickets or ferry operators are involved.

Discounts for passengers and families

Ferry companies offer special fares to passengers who meet specific eligibility requirements.

These categories may include children, infants, students, large families and passengers with disabilities.

Each ferry company applies its own discount policy and requires the relevant supporting documents.

You can check available ferry ticket offers and discounts before completing your reservation.

The appropriate discount category must be selected when purchasing your ticket.

Booking ferry tickets and returning to Amorgos

To book your tickets, first select your departure port, travel date, number of passengers and preferred seating category.

If you are travelling with a car, enter your vehicle details and check garage availability on your selected ferry.

For the return journey, you can consult the separate Paros - Amorgos ferry route page.

Before purchasing return tickets, check whether the ferry arrives at Katapola or Aegiali. Returning to a different port may significantly affect your transportation arrangements on Amorgos.
