Getting from Amorgos to Thassos

If you are heading to Thassos from Amorgos you are making your way from the most eastern of the Cyclades to the northernmost island in Greece, in the northern Aegean close to the Macedonian coast. It is green and forested with good beaches and ancient ruins from one of the most prosperous cities of the ancient Greek world.

Take the ferry

Taking the ferry from Amorgos to Naxos, flying to Athens and then Athens to Kavala, followed by a taxi to the port and the ferry across to Thassos, gives a total journey time of around 6 to 7 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 then fly to Kavala and take the ferry across to Thassos. With ferries running almost hourly from Kavala in summer you rarely need to book the final crossing in advance. If you are traveling with a car, take the overnight ferry from Amorgos to Piraeus and drive northeast via the E75 and Egnatia motorway to Kavala, then take the ferry across to Thassos.
