Amorgos island in Greece

I'm constantly surprised with how few people have heard of Amorgos in the Cyclades islands of Greece. Anywhere else in the world, an island with perfect beaches, aqua blue waters, iconic monasteries, and miles of hiking paths would be a premier destination!

On top of that, Amorgos municipality have an incredible website, providing visitors with all the information they need. And yet, it's still in a way waiting to be discovered.

It's probably a good thing. It means you'll be able to enjoy Amorgos without the crowds you'll have just experienced in Mykonos!

How to get from Mykonos to Amorgos

There is no airport in the Greek island of Amorgos, so the only way to make the trip from Mykonos to Amorgos is to take a ferry.

During the busiest months for travel, you can expect a couple of ferries a day sailing directly from Mykonos to Amorgos. These ferries to Amorgos from Mykonos are operated by SeaJets.

There are also several indirect routes available should a direct ferry crossing not be operating, and these might work out to be fractionally cheaper. They would involved going via Naxos or Paros first.

Ferries to Amorgos from Mykonos

There is a direct ferry leaving from Mykonos and sailing to Amorgos during the tourist season. It's a Seajets high speed ferry, which means it is quite small, but fast. The journey time is as little as 2 hours and 5 minutes on the quickest sailings.

The Seajets ferry company offers what you might call a touristic service between the two Cyclades islands. As a result, ticket prices can be quite expensive.

Amorgos has two ports, Katapola and Aigiali, and ferries from Mykonos can use either. It does, however, make sense to double check where your Amorgos ferry arrives, as if your hotel owner is picking you up from the port, you don't want to send them to the wrong one!

Note: If you want to travel during the off-season, or if no direct ferries are available for some reason, you could consider taking a ferry from Mykonos to Naxos first. You would then get a separate Naxos to Amorgos ferry.

I find that Ferryscanner is a good website to use to book ferry tickets online.

Amorgos Island Travel Tips

A few travel tips for visiting the Greek island of Amorgos:
  • If you're looking where to stay in Amorgos, the two most popular areas are Katapola and Aegiali.

  • For hotels in Amorgos, I suggest using Booking. They have a great choice of accommodation in Amorgos and an easy to use site. If you are traveling to Amorgos in the busy summer months, I advise reserving rooms to rent in Amorgos a month or so in advance.

  • The easiest way to get hold of ferry tickets to Amorgos in Greece is by using Ferryscanner. Although I recommend you book your Mykonos to Amorgos ferry tickets in advance, especially during the busy high season, you could use a travel agency after your arrive in Greece. If you intend to travel during August, be aware that this is the peak month for travel, and that ferries for some journeys such as this one can be fully-booked, so don't leave getting your tickets until the last minute.



What to see in Amorgos Greece

Some of the things to do in Amorgos during your time on the island include:

During my time in Amorgos, I really liked the beach at Aegiali, Kalotaritissa Beach, and the short 10 minute hike to the shipwreck of the Olympia boat!

I'd suggest staying 4-5 nights in Amorgos. If you're looking for which Greek islands in the Cyclades to visit afterwards, you might consider Donoussa. Alternatively, if you're heading back to Athens, consider getting the Blue Star ferries services to Piraeus Port.
