Katapola (Amorgos) Guide

Katapola (Amorgos) Ferry Port

Few islands around the world owe as much gratitude to their beaches as the Greek island of Amorgos. The shoreline of this narrow landmass, found among the liberal spattering of islands that pepper the Aegean Sea, is responsible for attracting the wealth of travellers and has even been the muse to filmmakers – the pristine, pebbled beach of Agia Anna inspiring Luc Besson to produce the film "The Big Blue". The most famous sight in Amorgos is the Monastery of Hozoviotissa. This 11th Century structure is hewn directly into the side of a sheer, rock-faced cliff; its lofty white walls instantly recognisable against the dun-coloured crag. The view from the monastery is unforgettable. From the windows and atop the balconies, one can see the all the way to the bottom of the shrub-covered mountainside and across an ultramarine expanse of the Aegean Sea that glitters like a million sapphires beneath the afternoon sun. The port in Amorgos is found in the small, northern village of Katapola that caps the end of a roughly triangular sea inlet. It sits at the very centre of the village promenade, which divides the traditionally Cycladic white-walled villas from the shallows of the sea. The port facility is nothing more than a spot on the promenade designated for the use of ferries. There are no amenities at the port itself so food, drink and other supplies can only be purchased from within Katapola. Only a few paved roads snake across the mountainous landscape of Amorgos and travelling to the port can prove difficult. Just one main route cuts across the spine of the island, heading through the villages of Katapola, Chora and eventually Aegiali just over 15-miles away. It’s a commonly used route for the island’s fleet of taxis and mix of public and private buses as they head back and forth between the region’s most popular landmarks. A vast range of ferry routes currently branch away from the port in Katapola throughout the week. Most services sail to the neighbouring islands that stud the Aegean Sea. Blue Star Ferries head to the islands of Rhodes, Kos, Leros, Patmos, Iraklia and Schinoussa, as well as sharing the journeys to Naxos, Koufonissi, Paros and the Greek mainland city of Piraeus with Sea Jets and Hellenic Seaways. Sea Jets also offer exclusive trips to Thira, Folegandros, Mykonos, Milos, Rafina and Tinos.


Leros Guide

Leros Ferry Port

Found on the southern part of the Aegean Sea, Leros is a relatively small Greek island with a population of just over 7000 people. There are numerous crossings from the port each day, nearly all of them are used to connect Leros with the neighbouring Greek islands. Famous for the myriad of beaches along the shoreline, Leros is a popular tourist destination, especially in the summer months. The island is renowned for its wide variation of beaches, offering a number of sand and pebble beaches made for visitors to bask in the warm weather. It is the idyllic setting for those wishing to enjoy peace and quiet, whilst experiencing authentic Greek culture. There is also diving and snorkelling opportunities at some of the beaches to add some adventure to the serene lifestyle. Away from the beaches, much like many of the Greek islands, Leros has an abundance of green valleys and picturesque bays to admire whilst enjoying some traditional Greek food. For those hoping to sample some of the island’s history, the archaeology museum and the churches are popular with tourists; the city of Platanos also hosts some interesting, rustic buildings. All of the major cities that are designed to accommodate tourists are situated fairly close to the port, the capital city of Agia Marina can be reached within an hour long walk. For the cities a little further from the port, there are bus services available, stopping directly outside the ferry terminal.
