Travel Tips
Port of Karavostasi is Folegandros's only port, on the northeast coast. It's a tiny harbour in a dramatic rocky bay, the island's remoteness and tranquility are immediately apparent on arrival. A bus meets each ferry to take passengers up to Chora (the clifftop capital, 4 km, €2). Taxis cost €8–10 to Chora. Arrive 30 minutes before departure, the port is small and uncongested outside peak season. Limited facilities at the port itself; the port-side taverna Kali Kardia is worth a stop.
Arriving in Amorgos, choose your adventure: the port of Katapola for hiking to Hozoviotissa monastery and Chora; or Aegiali for the northern beaches. The monastery, clinging impossibly to a 300m cliff above the sea, requires a hike up 300 steps. The crystal-clear waters made famous by Luc Besson's film "The Big Blue" (1988) are at Agia Anna beach, 10 minutes from Katapola. Amorgos has some of the best hiking in the Aegean, the main trail from Aegiali to Chora takes 3 hours through dramatic mountain scenery.
Seajets prices are lowest when booked 3+ months ahead. In summer, the fastest sailings (Worldchampion Jet routes) sell out weeks in advance. For the cheapest fares, choose earlier morning departures. Seajets is the best choice for the Athens–Mykonos, Mykonos–Santorini, and Santorini–Ios routes.
Amorgos is celebrated for the sweeping Monastery of Hozoviotissa clinging to a sheer cliff, crystal-clear waters, and dramatic landscapes from the film "The Big Blue". Don't miss exploring the main town (Chora), the local beaches, and the traditional tavernas.
