Getting from Amorgos to Spetses

If you are heading to Spetses from Amorgos you are making your way from the most eastern of the Cyclades to a car-free island in the Saronic Gulf, on the opposite side of Greece. It has neoclassical mansions around the harbour, a strong nautical tradition and a relaxed waterfront atmosphere.

Take the ferry

There is no direct ferry from Amorgos to Spetses. Getting there means taking the ferry from Amorgos to Piraeus, which takes around 5.5 to 9.5 hours, and then boarding the Saronic ferry from Piraeus to Spetses, which runs up to 10 daily crossings and takes around 1.5 to 3.5 hours. Alternatively, take the ferry from Amorgos to Naxos, fly to Athens and take the Saronic ferry from Piraeus to Spetses.

Getting there by air

Spetses has no airport. The nearest airport is Athens. Amorgos has no airport either. Taking the ferry from Amorgos to Naxos, flying to Athens and then taking the Saronic ferry from Piraeus to Spetses gives a total journey time of around 5 to 6 hours. In Greece, airlines do not operate direct inter island flights.

Your best option

Take the ferry from Amorgos to Naxos, fly to Athens and take the Saronic ferry from Piraeus to Spetses. Note that Spetses is car-free so no vehicles can be taken to the island. If you are traveling with a car, take the overnight ferry from Amorgos to Piraeus and drive to the mainland port of Kosta, from where a short local boat crosses to Spetses in around 10 minutes.
