Katapola or Aegiali: which port should you choose

Before choosing a departure from Piraeus, check the arrival port first. It is not simply a detail printed on the ticket.

Katapola is located in the central part of Amorgos and is the more practical choice for travellers staying in Katapola, Chora or areas further south. Aegiali is located in the northern part of the island and is better positioned for accommodation in Aegiali, Tholaria and Lagada.

If you have already booked your accommodation, choose the most suitable port first and then compare departure time, ferry and fare.

How Piraeus - Amorgos ferry routes operate

The fastest trip is to Katapola with the Champions League Jet 1 operated by Seajets. The ferry calls at Paros, Naxos and Koufonisi before reaching Amorgos. Passengers remain on the same ferry throughout the journey.

Blue Star Naxos, operated by Blue Star Ferries, serves both Katapola and Aegiali on different days. Sailings to Aegiali call at Paros, Naxos and Donousa, while one weekly service also includes Syros.

This means that two ferry tickets with Amorgos as the final destination can differ significantly in travel time and arrival port.

Which ferry is faster and which is cheaper

For the shortest crossing, the Seajets high-speed ferry to Katapola is the fastest option in the seasonal schedule. The morning departure reaches the island on the same calendar day, leaving enough time to continue to your accommodation.

The lowest basic fare is available on conventional services operated by Blue Star Ferries. If travel time is not your main priority, the conventional ferry can be the more economical choice.

A same-day trip with arrival in Amorgos is possible with the high-speed service. Travelling from Piraeus to Amorgos and returning on the same day, however, does not provide enough useful time on the island.

Ferries, garages and car transportation

Blue Star Naxos is a conventional passenger - vehicle ferry. It has 360 linear metres of garage capacity and can transport cars and motorcycles. It is also suitable for passengers who prefer a cabin or want more options for resting during an overnight journey.

Champions League Jet 1 is a high-speed passenger - vehicle catamaran. It can carry up to 1,172 passengers and 140 vehicles, making the faster service available to travellers bringing a car as well.

A vehicle space must be booked together with the passenger ticket. Passenger availability does not automatically mean that space is still available in the garage.

Cabins, seats and onboard facilities

Blue Star Naxos offers cabins, airplane-style seats, dining areas, café/bar facilities, a shop, Wi-Fi and open deck areas. On an evening sailing, a cabin can be particularly useful for families or passengers who want to sleep during the journey.

Champions League Jet 1 provides different seating categories, café/bar service, Wi-Fi, a lift and electronic ticketing. This ferry is primarily suited to travellers who want to reduce the total time spent at sea.

Which gate does the ferry depart from in Piraeus

Blue Star Naxos departures to Amorgos are served through gates E6 and E7 at the port of Piraeus. E6 is used for passengers, while E7 serves passengers and vehicles.

Seajets operates ticket offices at gates E9, E7 and E4. The final boarding gate should always be checked on the ticket and in the departure information before travelling to the port.

With Blue Star Ferries, passengers and vehicles should be at the boarding area at least 1 hour before departure. Seajets requires passengers to arrive at least 30 minutes before departure, while vehicles should be at the port 60 minutes before departure.

What works best for families or travellers with a car

For families who want a cabin, more freedom to move around and the option to rest during an evening journey, Blue Star Naxos is a practical choice.

If the main priority is reaching Katapola quickly, Champions League Jet 1 considerably reduces the time at sea and also carries cars. When travelling with a vehicle, however, compare the total booking cost rather than only the driver's passenger fare.

The arrival port should also be taken into account. A lower fare to Aegiali may not be the best overall choice if your accommodation is close to Chora or Katapola.

Discounts and special fares

The two ferry companies apply discounts with different age limits and conditions.

For children and infants, Blue Star Ferries offers free travel in eligible seating categories for children under 5 years old and a 50% discount for children aged 5 to 10. Seajets applies a separate policy for infants up to 1 year old, children up to 5 years old and children aged 5 to 10, with free or discounted fares in eligible seating categories.

Students who meet the required conditions can receive a 50% discount on eligible seating categories.

For large families and families with three children, Blue Star Ferries provides a 50% discount in economy class and numbered seats, with different conditions applying to cabins.

Seasmiles members can also use special discounts for passengers or vehicles on routes in the Cyclades. Supporting documents required for each discount must be available during boarding.

E-ticket and check-in

Blue Star Ferries offers Web Check-in from 48 hours until 2 hours before departure, while Champions League Jet 1 operated by Seajets supports e-tickets.

The electronic ticket can be saved on a mobile phone and presented together with the passenger's identification document. Through booktickets.gr, you can search for your preferred travel date, choose Katapola or Aegiali and complete the booking online.

What changes between high and low season

The Amorgos ferry schedule does not remain the same throughout the year. During periods of higher demand, high-speed connections and additional weekly departures are added. Outside the peak travel period, a larger share of the route is covered by conventional ferries.

Departure days, sailing times and intermediate stops also change. For this reason, travellers should check the schedule for their specific travel date rather than rely on an older timetable.

Anyone travelling with a car, booking a cabin or needing a specific arrival port should reserve earlier, since availability for these options is more limited.

Amorgos - Piraeus return ferry

The return trip to Piraeus can be made from either Katapola or Aegiali. The two ports are not served in exactly the same way every day, so it is worth checking the return journey before finalising your accommodation plans.

From Katapola, there are high-speed services with Seajets as well as conventional sailings operated by Blue Star Ferries. From Aegiali, return services are covered by the conventional Blue Star Ferries network.

You do not need to use the same port in both directions. For example, you can arrive in Katapola and depart from Aegiali if that combination works better with your travel schedule.

Alternative ferry routes

If there is no availability on the direct route for your preferred date, you can consider travelling via Naxos or Paros. Both islands have ferry connections from Piraeus and onward services to Amorgos.

When using two separate bookings, allow enough time between ferries. A delay on the first service could otherwise affect the second part of the journey.

Ferry connections from Amorgos to other islands

Amorgos is connected with several islands in the Cyclades as well as destinations towards the Dodecanese. From Katapola, ferry routes operate to Naxos, Koufonisi, Paros and other Cycladic islands.

From Aegiali, passengers can travel to destinations including Donousa and Naxos, while some services continue towards Astypalaia.

These connections make it possible to organise an island-hopping trip without returning to mainland Greece. On booktickets.gr, you can check each route and confirm which Amorgos port is used for departure.

Useful travel tips

Check whether your ticket lists Katapola or Aegiali before completing the booking. Choosing the wrong port for your accommodation can add unnecessary road travel after arrival.

If you are travelling with a car, avoid leaving the booking until the last minute, especially when only one departure suits your schedule. Garage availability is separate from passenger seat availability.

For an evening journey on a conventional ferry, compare the price of a cabin with a numbered seat. On a high-speed ferry, the arrival time and destination port may be more important than the onboard accommodation options.

Before travelling to Piraeus, check the final departure time and boarding gate.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

How much luggage can I take on the ferry?

Both Blue Star Ferries and Seajets allow passengers to carry luggage weighing up to 50 kg or with a total volume of up to 1 cubic metre per passenger. Luggage should be placed in the areas indicated by the crew.

Can I travel to Amorgos with a pet?

Yes. The ferries provide designated areas for pets. The animal must be included in the booking so that the required ticket can be issued, while the accompanying passenger should carry the necessary identification and health documents.

Are there facilities for passengers with reduced mobility?

Yes. Ferries operating on the route provide accessibility facilities. If you need assistance during boarding or disembarkation, it is better to declare this before travelling so that the crew can be informed.

In brief

The Piraeus - Amorgos route offers two different arrival options: Katapola and Aegiali. Blue Star Ferries serves both ports with a conventional ferry, while Seajets provides the faster connection to Katapola.

To choose the most suitable ferry, first check which port is closer to your accommodation. Then compare travel time, seat type, vehicle availability and the final booking cost.
