Athens to Amorgos Ferry Information

Arrival Precaution: If you are flying into Athens, it's crucial to plan an early arrival as you will need to arrive a day in advance to catch a ferry to Amorgos. The ferries depart in the morning, and unless you arrive in Athens very early, preferably before 6 am, it is unlikely that you will catch the morning ferry to Amorgos.

Traveling from Athens to Amorgos: Amorgos doesn't have an airport, but it's easily accessible through daily ferries and high-speed vessels. Athens International Airport (ATH) is the most convenient arrival point. Ferries depart from Athens' port, Piraeus, and dock alternately at the two ports of Amorgos: Katapola and Aegiali (near the hotel).

Ferry Schedule and Booking: As of now, the earliest ferry departs Athens at 6:45 am on June 28th, with the latest departure at 9 am. Although the journey is a lengthy cruise through the enchanting Greek Isles, be mindful of the early departure times. We will pick you up at whichever port you arrive, and I will personally greet you at Aegialis upon your arrival.

For ferry and flight coordination, please expect a form soon to gather your travel details and any dietary restrictions. You can conveniently book your ferry from Amorgos or Santorini through FerryScanner.

Departure Considerations: When departing, please be aware that the ferry schedule may impact your flight. Currently, the two ferries arrive in Athens after 8 pm on July 5th and at 5 am on July 6th, respectively. To avoid any inconvenience, we recommend considering an extra night in Athens or flying directly out of Santorini. Ensure to check ferry schedules before finalizing flight bookings.

For ferry or flight assistance, please feel free to reach out. We are here to facilitate a smooth and enjoyable travel experience for you. Safe travels! ✈️🛳️🌅
