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.


Ios Guide

Ios Ferry Port

Found deep within the huddle of Cyclades Isles that speckle the Aegean Sea to the south of Greece, is the cliff-edged island of Ios. This small stretch of land is hewn by long stretches of rugged mountains shaded by the earthy colours of rough Mediterranean scrubland. Nestled on the island’s eastern coast, where the rough shores of a glittering bay have taken a chunk out of the mainland, is the picturesque village of Chora. Much of the village is built upon the steep coastal hillsides; the dazzling white, Cycladic buildings rising in tiers towards the parched heartland. As well as being blessed with warm weather and effortless beauty, the village also possesses a rich history. Dig sites on the nearby Skarkos hill have uncovered evidence that prehistoric settlers once called the island home, with structures proving that the human history of Ios stretches back as far as the early bronze age. The port in Chora is found on the southern edge of the bay, just a short walk from the golden sands of Yialos Beach in the Ios district of the village. It is comprised of a wide, rectangular anchorage that juts into the sea from one corner of the local marina. There are no passenger facilities at the port itself, though a number of snack bars and restaurants selling hot food and drinks line the promenade. Due to the rough and largely remote nature of the island, travelling to the port can prove difficult. Only one road route leads into Chora, with the other lanes in the centre of the village far too steep and narrow for vehicles to negotiate. This road, which cuts across the inland mountains and offers lofty views across the rocky wilds of the lowland countryside, weaves all the way to the island’s southern tip and the small village of Magganari. The rest of the island can only be reached by braving the hills on foot, though no settlement is further than 6-miles away from Chora. A vast range of ferries currently run to and from the port in Ios, mainly on island-hopping trips across the Cyclades. Routes hosted by Blue Star Ferries, Seajets and Hellenic Seaways travel to a multitude of destinations including Naxos, Paros, Thira, Mykonos and the mainland city of Piraeus; a route also traversed by Zante Ferries. Other routes include a longer haul trip to Rafina, as well as to the other island ports of Sifnos, Milos, Kimolos, Kythnos, Serifos, Tinos, Folegandros and Heraklion. All of these voyages across the Aegean Sea routes operate at various times throughout the week.
