Day 1: Grounding and Settling in at Aegealis Resort
Morning~How to get to paradise:
Amorgos is accessible by ferry and has two ports, Aegiali (1km from our
hotel) and Katapola (22km away), which have connections to Athens
and other major islands depending on the season. The nearest airports
are those of Naxos and Santorini. These islands, along with Mykonos
and Paros, have connections to Amorgos by high-speed vessels
between mid-April and mid-October. The trip durations range between
1-4 hours. Athens has ferry connections to Amorgos throughout the
year. From late October until early April, the Blue Star ferry departs
from Piraeus port in Athens to Amorgos everyday except for Saturday
in late afternoon and arrives at Amorgos in the early hours of the next
morning (approximately 8 hours trip duration). To explore the available
ferry options, you can visit www.openseas.gr and check the connections
from/to both ports of Amorgos.
