• What ferries are operating from Athens to Amorgos?
Two types of vessels operate this route: conventional and high-speed ferries. All belong to the Blue Star company.
> Conventional ferries
Conventional ferries are large vessels with many spaces (indoors and outdoors). They boast large garages, allowing passengers to take their vehicles with them. Air-conditioning is always on in the indoor areas and eating and drinking establishments and shops are part of the premises. If you are traveling with a dog, an organized kennel is available. However, depending on the vessel, you may be able to keep your dog with you on the deck. Challenging weather conditions (strong winds, storms, etc.) rarely affect those vessels so they usually arrive and depart on time. Travelers can enjoy the beautiful sea views while having lunch or a coffee on deck.
Types of seats: Deck/Economy, Air seat/Economy, Business, Cabins
Price range: €51.5 - €86
Vehicle: €32.5 - €60 (Moto), €116.5 (Car), €138 (Small truck)
Timetable: There are five departures per week for this type of vessel from Piraeus during the summer season.
> High-speed ferries
High-speed vessels are smaller than conventional ones and travel at high velocities. All seats are air-seats and are located in an air-conditioned indoor area since there are no outdoor spaces. You can buy snacks and beverages from the ferry's canteens. Some ferries have a garage so passengers can transfer their vehicles. The number-one advantage of choosing a high-speed ferry for your trip is that the crossing's duration is shorter. Their small size, however, allows challenging weather conditions to affect them and delays may occur.
