Standard/economy seats are the most popular and affordable option. In conventional ferries, these seats are situated on the deck or in internal lounges and they are not numbered, so your ticket does not correspond to a specific seat. Therefore, in order to get a comfortable one, we recommend boarding the ferry as soon as possible.
Another option is the air-type seats, which are located in separate lounges. They are numbered, more comfortable and they are the most affordable option among the seats you can reserve. For luxury travel, there are also Business/VIP seats, which are situated in a separate lounge and are more expensive.
In high-speed ferries, there are only numbered seats, so a standard ticket corresponds to an air-type seat.

Athinios, the main port of Santorini

All ferries depart from Athinios Port, which is situated at the base of the caldera, around 8 kilometers from Fira (the island's capital).

Ferries departing from Santorini arrive at Katapola Port, the main port of Amorgos. Katapola is a 10-minute drive from Chora (the island's capital).

Santorini is immensely popular among Greeks and foreigners alike. The high number of visitors causes traffic around the port, so we strongly recommend being there at least 1 hour before the scheduled departure time.

Luggage policies in Greek ferries are quite flexible.
Most companies allow 40 kg or 0.5 cubic meters of luggage per passenger and provide a luggage storage area on each ferry. If you wish, though, you can take your luggage with you to the lounges or the deck (if available).
It is highly recommended that you leave bulky suitcases in the designated area and take only your personal belongings (wallet, keys, mobile phone, etc.) with you upstairs.

In order to take your car or motorbike to Amorgos, you need to purchase a vehicle ticket.
Drivers should be at the port 1 to 1.5 hours before the official departure time.
For safety reasons, entrance to the garage is forbbiden throughout the crossing.
Note: Many car rental companies do not allow customers to ferry their vehicles. We recommend avoiding purchasing a vehicle ticket before contacting your car rental company.

Amorgos does not have an airport, so the only way to reach the island is by ferry. However, Santorini boasts an international airport receiving flights from several European countries. Alternatively, you could fly to the nearby Mykonos, which also has an international airport, and take the ferry from there. Another option is to sail from Athens to Amorgos after landing at the International Airport of Athens.
