Katapola – Heraklion ferry
The ferry from Katapola on Amorgos to Heraklion brings together two very different sides of the Greek islands: Amorgos, with its dramatic cliffs and quiet Cycladic character, and Crete’s lively northern capital. Leaving Katapola’s sheltered bay, the crossing offers a satisfying sense of moving from a smaller island rhythm towards the breadth and energy of Crete. Heraklion is a natural starting point for exploring the island’s historic heart, from the archaeological site of Knossos to the old harbour, museums and mountain-framed inland villages. It is also a rewarding destination in its own right, where Venetian walls and waterfront promenades meet busy cafés and Cretan cooking.

Pets can be included in the booking, helping you keep the journey together from Amorgos to Crete.
