Getting There & Away
There are several connections a week between Piraeus and the Little Cyclades via Naxos,
and daily connections to and from Naxos. Make sure you have plenty of time before
committing yourself - these islands are not meant for last-minute or one-night visits.
Blue Star ferries serve the Little Cyclades throughout the year but the sturdy little ferry
Express Scopelitis
( 22850 71519, 22850 71256; Katapola, Amorgos)
is the mainstay ser-
vice (weather permitting in winter), except for its annual refit layoff, usually in January.
The
Scopelitis
leaves from Naxos in the afternoon Monday to Saturday, and calls at the
Little Cyclades and Amorgos. It returns to Naxos early the following morning. Each of
the small islands has at least one small tour boat. From June to September you may be
able to negotiate one-way travel between the islands with these boats, although it will be
more costly than the regular ferries.
