Mykonos - Amorgos: Ferry tickets and routes

Mykonos - Amorgos ferry tickets and ferry routes

Ferry tickets from Mykonos to Amorgos start at approximately €89.70 for one passenger, while the fastest crossing takes around 2 hours and 5 minutes. The direct connection mainly operates seasonally and normally arrives at Katapola, the principal port of Amorgos.

The route is primarily operated by Seajets using high-speed vessels. Depending on the travel date and the company’s schedule, the ferry may sail directly to Amorgos or make brief scheduled calls at other Cycladic islands.

The Mykonos - Amorgos route is particularly convenient for travellers planning an island-hopping trip through the Cyclades . It links two islands with very different atmospheres without requiring a return journey to Piraeus, taking passengers from cosmopolitan Mykonos to the quieter and more mountainous landscape of Amorgos.

How much are ferry tickets from Mykonos to Amorgos?

The standard fare for an adult passenger travelling from Mykonos to Katapola generally starts at approximately €89.70 each way.

The final ticket price may vary according to:

• the departure date,
• the high-speed vessel operating the sailing,
• seat availability,
• the selected seating category,
• any passenger discount,
• the choice of economy, business or another upgraded seat.

Economy seats on the high-speed ferries serving this route are usually numbered and located inside air-conditioned passenger lounges. When business or VIP seating is available on the selected vessel, choosing an upgraded category increases the total ticket cost.

The prices shown during the booking process apply to the specific departure selected and should not be considered fixed fares for the entire operating season. Indicative passenger fares for the route generally range from approximately €80.70 to €89.70, depending on the period and the available sailing.

How much is a car ferry ticket?

Car transportation is not available on every departure from Mykonos to Amorgos. Some of the smaller high-speed vessels used on this route are passenger-only ferries and do not have a vehicle garage.

For this reason, there is no single fixed car fare that applies to every sailing. Passengers travelling with a vehicle should enter its details during the search so that the booking system displays only vessels capable of carrying it.

When vehicle transportation is offered, the fare depends on:

• the length and height of the car,
• the vehicle category,
• the type of ferry,
• seasonal garage availability,
• any applicable vehicle discount.

Travellers who need to bring a car to Amorgos should confirm the specifications of the selected vessel before completing the reservation. The option to add a vehicle during the search is the clearest indication that the scheduled ferry has garage space.

How long is the ferry trip from Mykonos to Amorgos?

The journey from Mykonos to Katapola usually takes between 2 hours and 5 minutes and approximately 2 hours and 50 minutes.

The fastest crossing is completed in around 2 hours and 5 minutes. The total journey time may be longer when the itinerary includes additional port calls or when weather and port conditions affect the ferry’s progress.

Passengers should check the exact arrival time shown in their booking before departure, as two sailings on the same route may follow a different sequence of intermediate stops.

How often do ferries operate?

The direct Mykonos - Amorgos connection mainly runs from spring until autumn. During periods of higher demand, there may be up to 6 or 7 departures per week, while the frequency is usually lower at the beginning and end of the operating season.

During the busiest travel period, the route normally operates on most days of the week. Availability may range from 1 to 7 days per week, depending on the month and the ferry company’s schedule.

Outside the seasonal operating period, passengers should not assume that a direct ferry will be available. On dates without a direct departure, the journey may be arranged with a connection through Naxos or another island.

Which ferry company operates the route?

The direct Mykonos - Katapola, Amorgos route is mainly served by Seajets.

The company operates numerous inter-island routes throughout the Cyclades and uses high-speed vessels that allow passengers to travel between the islands without returning to a mainland port in Attica.

Different ferries may be assigned to the route depending on the period. Super Jet 2 has operated between Mykonos and Katapola on recent schedules, although the vessel and departure times may change according to the company’s operational planning.

Blue Star Ferries is not normally the main operator of the direct seasonal Mykonos - Katapola route. However, the company may appear in alternative itineraries or combined connections through another port.

Is the route direct?

Some short-duration departures connect Mykonos with Katapola without requiring passengers to change ferries. In these cases, travellers remain on the same vessel until they reach Amorgos.

The ferry may still make scheduled calls at other islands along the way. Depending on the daily itinerary, intermediate stops may include ports such as Naxos or Koufonisia.

The number of stops is not identical on every departure. Available schedules may include approximately 1 to 3 intermediate port calls.

A scheduled stop does not necessarily mean that passengers must change vessels. A ferry change is only required when the ticket includes a connecting itinerary involving two separate sailings.

Which port does the ferry depart from in Mykonos?

Most domestic ferries depart from the New Port of Mykonos in Tourlos, approximately 2 kilometres north of Mykonos Town.

Because Mykonos has both an Old Port and a New Port, passengers should carefully check the departure point stated on their ticket. The New Port is generally used for the island’s main ferry connections to other Cycladic destinations.

Tourlos can be reached by public bus, taxi, private transfer or sea bus, depending on the season and the passenger’s starting point.

Arriving at the port at least 45 to 60 minutes before departure is recommended, especially when travelling with a vehicle or during periods of increased port traffic.

Which port in Amorgos does the ferry arrive at?

The direct ferry from Mykonos normally arrives at Katapola.

Katapola is located on the western side of Amorgos and is the island’s main ferry port. Road connections are available from the port to Chora, Aegiali, Kato Meria and the other settlements of the island.

Katapola is approximately 5 kilometres from Chora, while the journey to Aegiali is considerably longer. Travellers staying in northern Amorgos should also allow additional time for the transfer from the port to their accommodation.

Aegiali is the second major port of Amorgos, but it is not usually served by the main direct connection from Mykonos. Some searches may display combined itineraries to Aegiali that require a ferry change.

Are cabins available on the ferry?

Cabins are generally not available on the high-speed vessels most commonly used on the Mykonos - Katapola route. Due to the relatively short journey time, booking a cabin is normally unnecessary.

Passengers travel in numbered seats inside air-conditioned lounges. Depending on the vessel, more than one seating category may be available.

As the ferry assigned to the route can change, passengers should check the facilities of the specific vessel during booking rather than relying only on the ferry company’s general services.

What facilities are available on board?

Facilities vary according to the high-speed ferry operating the sailing, but they commonly include:

• air-conditioned passenger lounges,
• numbered seating,
• a café or snack bar,
• luggage storage areas,
• toilets,
• electronic ticket acceptance,
• designated areas for pets,
• basic accessibility facilities.

Larger high-speed vessels may also offer Wi-Fi, lifts, an onboard shop and upgraded passenger lounges. Not every vessel in the fleet provides all of these services.

Discounts and special offers

Discounts are determined by the ferry company’s policy and are applied only when the passenger meets the relevant conditions.

Reduced fares may be available for:

• children and infants,
• large families,
• students attending eligible Greek educational institutions,
• passengers with disabilities and their companions,
• permanent island residents,
• military personnel,
• members of ferry loyalty programmes.

To issue a discounted ticket, passengers must select the correct category during the reservation process. The appropriate supporting document may be requested at boarding.

Commercial offers may apply only to certain dates, routes, seating categories or vehicles and are not automatically available on every departure. Current prices and eligible discounts are displayed before payment is completed.

Amorgos - Mykonos return route

The return journey operates from Katapola, Amorgos to Mykonos and is mainly served by Seajets.

The return crossing generally takes from approximately 2 hours and 40 minutes, depending on the ferry and the scheduled intermediate stops. The standard passenger fare may start at around €89.70.

When the travel dates are known, it is advisable to book the return ticket at the same time as the outbound journey. Availability can become limited quickly during busy travel periods.

Departure times towards Mykonos do not necessarily correspond to the timings of the outbound route. Each direction should therefore be checked separately.

Alternative ferry routes

When no direct ferry is available from Mykonos to Amorgos, travelling through Naxos is usually the most practical alternative.

Possible combinations include:

• Mykonos - Naxos, followed by Naxos - Katapola, Amorgos,
• Mykonos - Koufonisia, followed by Koufonisia - Katapola, Amorgos,
• Mykonos - Paros, followed by a connection to Amorgos,
• Mykonos - Piraeus, followed by a new ferry to Katapola or Aegiali.

The route through Naxos is generally the most convenient because Naxos has frequent ferry connections both from Mykonos and towards the Small Cyclades and Amorgos.

For combined itineraries, passengers should allow enough time between the two ferries. Separate tickets do not automatically provide protection if the first sailing is delayed.

Useful travel tips

Check whether your ferry arrives at Katapola or Aegiali. The two ports are located in different parts of Amorgos, and the arrival point affects the transfer to your accommodation.

Make sure that you have selected the correct departure port in Mykonos. The terms “New Port” and “Tourlos” refer to a different location from the Old Port in Mykonos Town.

Strong winds may cause schedule changes or delays. Monitor any messages from the ferry company and check the status of the departure before travelling to the port.

Luggage is usually placed in designated storage areas near the entrance of the ferry. Keep travel documents, money, electronic devices and medication with you.

Passengers travelling with a pet must enter the animal’s details during booking. The necessary health and identification documents should also be carried during the journey.

When travelling with a car or motorcycle, confirm that a vehicle fare appears during the search. If the booking system does not allow a vehicle to be added, the selected ferry probably does not have a garage.
