The Rhodes to Santorini ferry is one of the great Aegean crossings, linking two of the most visited islands in Greece. Rhodes, with its medieval old town and long sandy beaches on the eastern edge of the Dodecanese, sits a world apart from Santorini’s dramatic caldera cliffs and whitewashed villages — yet the ferry makes connecting them straightforward. Whether you’re island-hopping through the Cyclades or heading directly between the two, this route gives you a genuine taste of the open Aegean.
Service runs year-round, which is unusual for a route of this distance and makes it a reliable option even outside the summer season. On average, you can expect around one sailing per day across most of the year.
