"Kassos to Sitia"

We were very happy with the trip overall. Two points for improvement: the toilets need to be cleaned more often; there is seating available but inconsiderate people often take more than they need - perhaps an announcement could be made to remind everyone to be more thoughtful.

Santorini to Heraklion Ferry Guide

Santorini Ferry Port

The island of Santorini, one of the most popular of the Cyclades Islands, and known for its unique landscapes that was shaped by a volcanic eruption thousands of years ago, giving it the crescent shape, and the rugged cliffs and black and red beaches that have made it such a popular destination to visit. This island is not only popular with visitors, but also has an array of ferries running, to destinations that vary from the mainland of Greece, to the Cyclades Islands, to the Dodecanese Islands, to Crete, making this the ideal place to visit for such easy access to other destinations.

Heraklion Ferry Port

Heraklion is the largest city on the island of Crete, is home to a rich history that can be dated back to the Ancient Greeks, and has all the landmarks and architecture that you may expect from such a historical place, as well as easy access to many other places in Crete.

Situated on the northern coast of Crete, Heraklion ferry port is accessible by public transport and car. There is a regular bus service departing every hour from Chania, which takes approximately 2 hours and 40 minutes to reach Bus Station A. If you are driving instead, please remember that the Green National Road 90 provides a direct connection between all the major cities on the northern coast and the ferry port.
