Getting from Amorgos to Ioannina

If you are heading to Ioannina from Amorgos you are making your way from the most eastern of the Cyclades to a city in the mountains of Epirus in northwestern Greece, on the western shore of Lake Pamvotis with the Pindos range behind it and the Vikos Gorge, one of the deepest in the world, an hour away.

Take the ferry

There is no ferry to Ioannina. It is an inland city with no sea connection. Getting there from Amorgos means taking the ferry to Naxos and flying via Athens first, then traveling by road or a second flight to Ioannina.

Getting there by air

Both Ioannina and the nearest airports to Amorgos have connections from Athens. Taking the ferry from Amorgos to Naxos, flying to Athens and then Athens to Ioannina gives a total journey time of around 5 to 6 hours. The airport is just 4 kilometres from the city centre. In Greece, airlines do not operate direct inter island flights.

Your best option

Take the ferry from Amorgos to Naxos, fly to Athens and then fly to Ioannina. It is the most practical approach. The KTEL bus from Athens Kifissos terminal to Ioannina runs several times daily and takes around 6 to 7 hours, which is worth considering if you prefer not to fly the second leg. If you are traveling with a car, take the overnight ferry from Amorgos to Piraeus and drive northwest via the E65 motorway to Ioannina, which takes around 5 to 6 hours from Athens.
