The route operates seasonally, usually from spring until the beginning or middle of autumn, and is generally served by a Seajets high-speed ferry.

The journey normally takes approximately 2 hours and 40 minutes to 2 hours and 50 minutes, depending on the published timetable and the intermediate port calls.

How much does a Katapola - Mykonos ferry ticket cost?

The price of a standard adult passenger ticket for the Katapola, Amorgos - Mykonos route usually starts from €89.70.

As this is a seasonal route served by a high-speed ferry, the basic fare is generally higher than the prices available on shorter routes between neighbouring Cycladic islands.

The final ticket price may vary depending on:

• The departure date
• The selected seat category
• Ferry availability
• The passenger’s age and status
• Any applicable discount
• The choice between a standard numbered seat and an upgraded seat category

The total price is displayed before the booking is completed.

Passengers travelling in July or August are advised to book early, as the route has a limited number of departures and the high-speed ferry may reach full capacity.

How much does a car ferry ticket cost?

Vehicle transportation should not be considered automatically available on the Katapola - Mykonos route.

Many sailings are operated by high-speed vessels such as Super Jet 2, which may not have a garage available for private vehicles. Current indicative fares do not show a standard combined price for two passengers travelling with a car.

Before planning to transport a vehicle, passengers should check the vessel assigned to their chosen departure and the specific travel date.

When no vehicle option appears during the booking search, the selected sailing is available only to foot passengers.

A practical alternative is to return a rental car in Amorgos and rent another vehicle after arriving in Mykonos. This also avoids the potentially high cost of transporting a car between the two islands.

How long is the ferry journey?

The journey from Katapola in Amorgos to Mykonos usually takes between 2 hours and 40 minutes and 2 hours and 50 minutes.

The total duration mainly depends on the scheduled intermediate port calls. Before arriving in Mykonos, the high-speed ferry may stop at Koufonisi, Naxos and Paros.

An indicative summer sailing may depart at approximately 14:00 and arrive at around 16:50. However, departure and arrival times do not remain the same throughout the entire operating season.

Strong winds in the Aegean may affect the arrival time, particularly when the route is served by a high-speed ferry.

How frequently do ferries operate?

The Katapola - Mykonos ferry connection is seasonal and does not operate with the same frequency throughout the year.

Depending on the month, there may be between 1 and 7 sailings per week.

During the peak tourist season, there are usually 6-7 weekly departures, providing an almost daily connection. During spring and towards the end of the operating season, the service may be reduced to one or only a few departures per week.

The published operating period usually extends from April to October.

Passengers should not assume that the frequency remains fixed. For accurate travel planning, it is advisable to confirm the ferry schedule before finalising accommodation or booking a flight from Mykonos.

Which ferry company operates the route?

Direct seasonal ferry services from Katapola to Mykonos are operated by Seajets.

The company uses high-speed vessels for many connections between the Cycladic islands. Super Jet 2 has operated on this route, with an indicative journey time of approximately 2 hours and 50 minutes.

The vessel may change depending on the company’s timetable, fleet availability or operational adjustments.

For this reason, passengers should always refer to the vessel name displayed during the booking process as the final and most relevant information.

Is the ferry route direct?

The Katapola - Mykonos ticket is issued as a single journey, and passengers do not need to change ferries.

However, the high-speed vessel may make several intermediate stops.

A typical route is:

• Katapola, Amorgos
• Koufonisi
• Naxos
• Paros
• Mykonos

The stops are usually brief, and passengers remain on the same ferry throughout the journey.

The order of the ports and the total number of calls may change depending on the departure date and the time of year.

Which port does the ferry depart from in Amorgos?

The ferry departs from Katapola port, located on the southwestern side of Amorgos.

Katapola is one of the island’s two main ports, together with Aegiali. Around the port area, travellers can find cafés, restaurants, accommodation, vehicle rental offices and shops.

Bus services also connect Katapola with Chora and other settlements on the island.

Passengers should make sure that their ticket clearly states Katapola rather than Aegiali. The distance between the two ports is considerable, and travelling from one to the other requires road transportation.

Foot passengers are advised to arrive at the port at least 45-60 minutes before departure. During busy travel days, arriving even earlier is recommended.

Which port does the ferry arrive at in Mykonos?

Most passenger ferries and high-speed vessels arrive at the new port of Mykonos in Tourlos.

The new port is located approximately 2-3 kilometres from Mykonos Town.

Transportation from the port is available by:

• Public bus
• Taxi
• Sea bus
• Private transfer

During the peak summer months, traffic around Tourlos can be heavy, while taxi availability may be limited.

Passengers who have a flight on the same day should allow sufficient time between the ferry’s arrival and their airport departure.

Even a short ferry delay or heavy road traffic may cause difficulties when the connection time is too limited.

Are cabins available on the ferry?

Cabins are not normally available on the high-speed ferries used for the Katapola - Mykonos route.

Passengers travel in indoor, numbered airline-style seats. Depending on the vessel, different seating categories may be available, including economy and upgraded seating.

As the journey lasts less than 3 hours, the absence of cabins is not generally a significant issue for most travellers.

What facilities are available on board?

Facilities vary according to the high-speed vessel operating the route, but they usually include:

• Air-conditioned indoor areas
• Numbered passenger seats
• Designated luggage storage areas
• Snack bar or café
• Toilets
• Facilities or designated seating for passengers with reduced mobility
• Specific areas for pets

Access to an outdoor deck may be limited or unavailable during the journey.

Large luggage items must be placed in the storage areas indicated by the crew. Bags should not be left beside passenger seats when they obstruct corridors or emergency access routes.

Discounts and special offers

Discounted tickets may be available for specific passenger categories, according to the ferry company’s policy.

Reduced fares may apply to:

• Children and infants
• Students of Greek public universities
• Large families
• Passengers with disabilities and their accompanying persons
• Members of the Greek Armed Forces
• Passengers covered by a special commercial offer

The discount percentage is not the same for every category.

Passengers must carry the required supporting documents and present them during boarding if requested.

Available discounts are displayed during the booking process when the passenger’s age and status have been entered correctly.

Mykonos - Katapola: The return route

The return journey from Mykonos to Katapola is also operated seasonally by Seajets.

The journey duration generally ranges from approximately 2 hours to 2 hours and 50 minutes, depending on the vessel and the scheduled intermediate port calls.

Passenger fares usually start from €89.70, although different prices or fare categories may be available on certain dates.

The frequency of the return journey is not necessarily the same as the frequency of departures from Katapola.

Passengers travelling on specific dates should search for both the outbound and return journeys before completing their travel arrangements.

Alternative routes from Katapola to Mykonos

When no direct departure is available, passengers may consider travelling through another Cycladic island and taking a connecting ferry.

The most practical alternatives are usually:

• Amorgos - Naxos and Naxos - Mykonos
• Amorgos - Paros and Paros - Mykonos
• Amorgos - Koufonisi and Koufonisi - Mykonos
• Amorgos - Santorini and Santorini - Mykonos

Naxos and Paros usually offer more frequent ferry connections to Mykonos.

However, the two journeys are booked separately, and passengers must allow sufficient time between the arrival of the first ferry and the departure of the second.

A connection with a very short transfer time is not recommended. A delay on the first part of the journey could result in passengers missing the following departure.

Useful tips for the journey

Book your ticket early when travelling from the middle of July until the end of August. The high-speed ferry serves several islands on the same route, and availability may decrease quickly.

Check the departure port carefully. Amorgos has two ports, and a general reference to “Amorgos” is not enough to confirm the correct boarding point.

Do not schedule a flight from Mykonos immediately after the ferry’s planned arrival. Allow at least a few hours, particularly when travelling during the period of strong northern Aegean winds.

Passengers who are sensitive to movement on high-speed ferries may prefer a seat near the centre or towards the rear of the vessel, where movement is often less noticeable.

Keep any medication and personal items required during the journey in a small bag. Once large suitcases have been placed in the luggage storage area, accessing them during the trip may be difficult.
