Travel Tips
Amorgos has two ports: Katapola (main port, western side) and Aegiali (northern port). Most ferries from Athens and Naxos use Katapola; check your ticket carefully. Katapola is a lovely port village with tavernas and a small beach. Buses to Chora (8 km, 15 min, €2) depart from the port. Arrive 45 minutes before departure. The famous Monastery of Hozoviotissa, carved into the cliff face, is 6 km from Katapola, a must-visit. Taxis cost €10–15 to Chora.
On return, ferries arrive at Gates E7–E9 in Piraeus. The Metro Line 1 departs directly from Piraeus station to central Athens (Monastiraki, Omonia, Victoria) every 5–10 minutes from early morning until midnight. Taxis are plentiful outside the terminal. For Athens Airport, take the suburban rail (Proastiakos) from Piraeus station, about 1 hour. Luggage storage is available at the port if you need it before your next connection.
Book 4–6 weeks ahead for July–August departures, especially for cabins and vehicle spaces, these sell out first. Economy seats remain available longer. Off-season (November–March) you can usually book a week ahead. Use Ferryhopper.com for instant price comparison across operators.
