Amorgos, the easternmost island of the Cyclades has many interesting features to offer. An island with a span of 26.346 km2 and 1.859 inhabitants in 2001, with a rich history dating back to the 5th century B.C., intriguing foot paths throughout the island, breathtaking cliffs for rock climbing and a wonderful underwater world to discover scuba diving. Capital of the island is Chora and the next larger towns are those of Aegiali and Katapola. Of great interest are also the ancient cities of Minoa, which dates back to the Ancient Cretan civilization, and Arkessini.

Interesting information about Amorgos can be found through the Greek Travel Pages (GTP) and Wikipedia.

Ferry types operating routes to Amorgos

Conventional car ferries

These vessels can be divided into two categories: the old ones and the modern ones.

The main differences between them are

  • their cruising speed
  • the quality of accommodation and services provided and
  • the prices

They are usually very big vessels, which also carry vehicles. Their advantages compared to the High Speed vessels, like the catamarans, are that they are more seaworthy, offer more "relaxed" accommodation and cabins and the passengers have the possibility to sit outside and enjoy their cruise around the Greek islands.

Catamarans & Hydrofoils

These vessels are smaller and much faster than conventional ones. Only a few of them can carry vehicles. Their main advantage is that they go twice as fast.
Passengers are usually not allowed to sit outside even though there is some space on some of them. The accommodation inside is a little like a very wide airplane. The better the class, the wider the seat. There are no cabins.
Smoking is not allowed in any inside area of any ship.
