The Piraeus - Aegiali, Amorgos route serves the northern port of Amorgos. It should not be confused with the crossing to Katapola, which is a different port with separate sailing days and arrival times.

Deck tickets start at €43, while fares for transporting a private car begin at €118.50. Blue Star Ferries operates the crossing with Blue Star Naxos, a conventional ferry with a vehicle garage, numbered seats, cabins and dining areas.

During the high season, there are up to 4 departures per week. After mid-September, the number of sailings is reduced and departures mainly move to the afternoon. A same-day return is not possible because the crossing times and return departures require at least one overnight stay.

Which sailing is fastest and which has the lowest fare?

The fastest crossing takes 7 hours and 45 minutes. It departs from Piraeus at 06:45 and arrives in Aegiali at 14:30. This morning sailing suits travellers who want to reach Amorgos during the day and continue to Aegiali, Lagkada, Tholaria or Chora without a late-night arrival.

The lowest-priced option is also operated by Blue Star Naxos, with deck tickets starting at €43. There is no high-speed ferry operating directly between Piraeus and Aegiali. High-speed services listed for Amorgos mainly travel to Katapola.

From mid-September, afternoon departures at 17:30 become available, arriving after midnight. These crossings can take 8 hours and 30 minutes or up to 9 hours and 40 minutes, depending on the scheduled port calls and the time spent at each stop.

Ferry schedules from Piraeus to Aegiali

The route operates 3 - 4 times per week. During the first part of September, Blue Star Naxos departs at 06:45 on several dates and reaches Aegiali at 14:30.

When the lower-demand travel period begins, the main departure time changes to 17:30. Arrival takes place during the early hours of the following day. Travellers should therefore check the arrival date as well as the departure date.

There is no second sailing to Aegiali on the same day. If the scheduled departure is missed, the next available ferry may be two or three days later.

How many departures operate each week?

Up to 4 weekly departures operate during the high season. In the low season, the route generally runs 3 times per week.

There is one sailing on each operating day. This means that the 06:45 or 17:30 departure is both the first and the last sailing of that day.

Intermediate stops before Aegiali

A single ticket covers the entire journey and passengers do not need to change ferries. Blue Star Naxos follows this route:

• Piraeus
• Paros
• Naxos
• Donousa
• Aegiali

Passengers remain on board during the intermediate port calls. Stops are brief, although they can influence the final arrival time.

Morning sailings reach Aegiali in the afternoon. Ferries leaving later in the day arrive after midnight. Before completing payment, check that the ticket states “Aegiali” rather than “Amorgos - Katapola”.

Ferry ticket prices from Piraeus to Aegiali

Passenger tickets in deck accommodation start at €43. This fare provides access to shared lounges and outdoor decks but does not include a numbered seat or bed.

Numbered aircraft-style seats and cabins cost more. A bed in a cabin starts at €84.50. The final price is based on the cabin category, the number of beds and whether the cabin is interior or exterior.

For a journey lasting more than 7 hours, a numbered seat provides an assigned place in an indoor lounge. A cabin is more expensive but is a practical option for departures at 17:30, as most of the crossing takes place during the evening.

Which option offers better value for a family?

Families with young children may find the 06:45 morning sailing more convenient because it avoids arriving after midnight. For an afternoon departure, a four-bed cabin makes it easier to rest and reduces the time children spend in shared passenger areas.

Children aged 5 to 10 receive a 50% discount in all accommodation categories. Children under 5 travel free in deck accommodation, but a zero-fare ticket must still be issued. If a numbered seat or bed is requested, the relevant child fare applies.

Car tickets and garage availability

Blue Star Naxos is a passenger and vehicle ferry with a garage. Car tickets from Piraeus to Aegiali start at €118.50, while motorcycle transport begins at €33.

The vehicle fare does not include the driver or passengers. Each person must have a separate passenger ticket.

For a family spending several days on Amorgos, taking a car provides greater freedom for trips between Aegiali, Chora, Katapola and the island’s beaches. For a short stay limited to the Aegiali area, a car may not be necessary because local buses and vehicle rental services are available.

Ferry company and vessel

The direct connection to Aegiali is operated by Blue Star Ferries with Blue Star Naxos. It is a 124.2-metre conventional ferry with capacity for 1,474 passengers and 360 linear metres of vehicles.

Facilities on Blue Star Naxos include:

• Numbered aircraft-style seats
• Interior and exterior cabins
• Pet-friendly cabins
• Cabins and seating for passengers with disabilities
• Café and bar
• Restaurant
• Open deck
• Lift and escalators
• ATM
• Shop
• Designated pet area

The ferry has 102 beds in total. Cabin capacity is limited compared with overall passenger capacity, so cabins can sell out on departures with increased demand.

Which gate does the ferry depart from in Piraeus?

Blue Star Naxos departs from the E6 and E7 gate area at the port of Piraeus.

• Gate E6 serves foot passengers
• Gate E7 serves passengers travelling with vehicles

The final berth is shown on the ticket and on the port’s electronic information boards. It may change for operational reasons, so travellers should not rely on a gate used during an earlier journey.

Gates E6 and E7 are located close to Akti Kondyli. Walking from the Piraeus Metro and railway station takes time, especially with luggage. Passengers arriving from Athens by public transport should also allow time to reach the correct gate from the station.

How early should passengers arrive at the port?

Blue Star Ferries asks passengers to be at the boarding area at least 1 hour before departure. The same arrival requirement applies to vehicles entering the loading area.

For the 06:45 morning sailing, foot passengers should be at the gate by 05:45. Drivers must also arrive by 05:45, with their tickets ready and the correct vehicle details entered in the booking.

For a departure at 17:30, passengers and vehicles should arrive by 16:30. On Fridays and during busy travel periods, extra time should be allowed for traffic around the port.

Arrival port in Aegiali

The port is located in Ormos Aegialis, on the northern side of Amorgos. The beach, accommodation, tavernas and essential shops are all close to the pier.

Road connections from Aegiali serve:

• Lagkada
• Tholaria
• Potamos
• Chora
• Hozoviotissa Monastery
• Katapola

Passengers arriving after midnight should arrange transport to their accommodation in advance. Local bus services are limited at that time, while the number of available taxis is also restricted.

Passengers travelling with a car disembark directly onto the pier. Other occupants must leave the vehicle before unloading and follow the crew’s instructions.

Cabins and numbered seats

Cabins are particularly useful on afternoon departures because the ferry reaches Aegiali after midnight. Two-bed, three-bed and four-bed cabins are available in both interior and exterior categories.

Exterior cabins have a window, while interior cabins do not receive natural light. Both categories include beds and a private bathroom.

A numbered seat costs less than a cabin and provides an assigned place in an air-conditioned lounge. Deck accommodation is the cheapest option but does not include a reserved seat.

Return route from Aegiali to Piraeus

The Aegiali - Piraeus return route is operated by Blue Star Ferries with Blue Star Naxos.

During the high season, a departure at 19:50 reaches Piraeus at 05:00 the following day. After mid-September, morning departures may also operate at 07:00 or 08:30, arriving in the afternoon.

The evening return sailing allows travellers to use the full final day on the island. A cabin or numbered seat provides a fixed place for the overnight journey.

Alternative routes to Amorgos

The main alternative is the Piraeus - Katapola, Amorgos ferry route. Katapola is in central Amorgos and is connected to Aegiali by road.

The Katapola route has more departures during the summer and is served by both conventional and high-speed ferries. Passengers arriving in Katapola need onward road transport to Aegiali.

Another specific option is to book Piraeus - Naxos followed by Naxos - Aegiali, Amorgos. These are two separate tickets, so sufficient connection time is essential. A delay on the first leg does not guarantee transfer to the next ferry.
