This short hop connects Katapola, Amorgos's main harbour on the island's sheltered south coast, with the tiny anchorage on Iraklia, the smallest and quietest of the Small Cyclades. Katapola itself is a working port town wrapped around a curving bay, with tavernas along the water and hills rising steeply behind -- it's also where the bigger Piraeus-bound ferries call, so you'll likely pass through it at some point on an Amorgos trip regardless. Iraklia, by contrast, has no real town to speak of: the boat ties up by a scatter of rooms and a couple of tavernas, and that's about it.
Sailings on this crossing are modest year-round rather than swelling dramatically in high summer -- expect a single daily service to be the norm through the season, thinning further once the shoulder months arrive and operators trim back their timetables. Check the monthly table below for which months currently have confirmed departures.

Tips for the Amorgos–Iraklia Ferry
- Amorgos has two ferry ports, Katapola in the south and Aegiali in the north, about 20km apart by road and roughly 30 to 40 minutes' drive. Always check which port your ticket departs from before setting off, as the two are not interchangeable.
- The Donoussa crossing is usually run by the small Express Skopelitis ferry, which is more sensitive to rough weather than larger vessels on the main Piraeus routes. In poor conditions check locally, as sailings can be delayed or cancelled at short notice.
- A local bus links Chora to Katapola port, but its timetable shifts seasonally and is only loosely tied to ferry times, so confirm departure times locally rather than relying on a fixed schedule, especially for early sailings.
- Check whether your booking confirmation requires you to collect a physical ticket from the operator's port office – some agents issue vouchers that need exchanging.
- Once you arrive in Iraklia, one of the Small Cyclades near Naxos, the long sandy beach of Livadi on the eastern side of the island is the main draw. The island is ideal for low-key holidays, with the port-side beach of Agios Georgios offering easy access from the ferry landing.
