The Piraeus to Amorgos ferry is your gateway to one of the most remote and unspoilt islands in the Cyclades. Departing from Greece’s main port, the route carries you deep into the Aegean, past a string of smaller islands before arriving at Amorgos — the easternmost and arguably most dramatic of the Cycladic chain.
Service runs throughout the year, though you’ll find more choice in the warmer months. On average there are 2 ferries per day across the year. In summer (June–August), departures rise to 2 per day, giving you more flexibility; in winter, a single daily service keeps the island connected with the mainland.

Tips for the Piraeus–Amorgos Ferry
- Most ferries have a small kiosk selling souvenirs, snacks, and basic travel items; useful if you have forgotten sunscreen or earplugs.
- On high-speed catamarans, seating is assigned; on conventional ferries it is often open plan – boarding early gives you the best choice of seats.
- Fragile items should be wrapped and packed in the centre of your bag, surrounded by soft clothing – baggage handling at ports is not gentle.
- Pets travel in a dedicated area on most Greek ferries; book your pet’s space when you book your own ticket as places are limited.
- In Amorgos, you’ll find dramatic landscapes, superb hiking trails, and the iconic Hozoviotissa Monastery clinging to a sheer cliff face above the sea. The island gained international fame as the filming location for Luc Besson’s film The Big Blue.
