The Journey

The Ios to Amorgos ferry is one of the Cyclades' most popular connections, operating seasonal service with journey times from 1h 30m to 2h 42m and tickets from €10.00. The route is served by Blue Star Ferries, with vehicle transport available on conventional ferries. Ferries operate Apr - Oct.

Amorgos is celebrated for the breathtaking Monastery of Hozoviotissa clinging to a sheer cliff, crystal-clear waters, and dramatic landscapes from the film "The Big Blue". Whether you're drawn by the beaches, the local cuisine, or the authentic Cycladic atmosphere, Amorgos rewards visitors who make the crossing.

Insider Tip: The Ios to Amorgos crossing is one of the Aegean's most scenic routes. Grab a seat on the outdoor deck for unbeatable sea views. Traveling mid-week usually means emptier ferries and a more relaxed arrival. In peak season, book at least 2–3 weeks in advance to secure your preferred departure time.

Travel Tips

Plan your journey

Getting to Ios Port

Port of Ios is on the island's west coast, at the foot of the hillside capital (Chora). The port is compact and friendly — Chora village is visible on the hilltop above. Buses to Chora (5 min, €2) and Mylopotas beach (15 min) depart regularly from the port. Taxis cost €5–8 to Chora. In peak season, the port can get crowded with ferries from multiple directions — arrive 30–45 minutes early. The port area has a supermarket, ATM, and tavernas.

Arriving in Amorgos

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.

Booking Tips for 2026

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.

Things to Do in Amorgos

Amorgos is celebrated for the breathtaking Monastery of Hozoviotissa clinging to a sheer cliff, crystal-clear waters, and dramatic landscapes from the film "The Big Blue".
