Getting from Amorgos to Volos

If you are heading to Volos from Amorgos you are making your way from the most eastern of the Cyclades to a city on the Pagasetic Gulf at the foot of the Pelion peninsula in Thessaly. It is the departure point for ferries to the Sporades and has a long waterfront lined with ouzo bars and seafood restaurants.

Take the ferry

There is no direct ferry from Amorgos to Volos. Getting there means taking the ferry from Amorgos to Piraeus, which takes around 5.5 to 9.5 hours, and then traveling by road north to Volos, which takes around 3 to 3.5 hours from Athens via the E75 motorway. The KTEL bus from Athens to Volos runs several times daily and takes around 3.5 hours.

Getting there by air

Volos has a small airport at Nea Anchialos, around 20 kilometres from the city, with limited connections from Athens. Amorgos has no airport either. Taking the ferry from Amorgos to Naxos, flying to Athens and then driving or taking the KTEL bus to Volos 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 drive or take the KTEL bus north to Volos. It is the most practical approach. If you are traveling with a car, take the overnight ferry from Amorgos to Piraeus and drive north to Volos via the E75 motorway, which takes around 3 to 3.5 hours from Athens.
