Amorgos and Koufonisi sit close together at the eastern edge of the Cyclades, and the short hop between them is one of the easiest crossings in the group. Katapola, Amorgos's main harbour, is a working port rather than a purpose-built terminal, so boats tie up close to the waterfront and there's little walking involved getting from quay to town. Koufonisi's dock sits right by its small main village, so arrival is just as straightforward at the other end. Check the schedule box above for the latest confirmed dates before you travel, since operators file each new season in stages rather than all at once.
Several crossings a day run at the height of summer, with the smaller high-speed boats covering the distance quickly and the larger conventional ferries taking noticeably longer because they call at other islands along the way. That spread explains the wide range in journey times -- pick a high-speed sailing if you want the shortest possible hop, or a slower ferry if the detour suits your onward plans. Departures thin out as the season winds down, so always check the frequency shown above rather than assuming the summer pattern holds year-round.
