The Santorini to Heraklion ferry is one of the great inter-island connections in the Aegean, linking the clifftop splendour of Santorini with the ancient capital of Crete. Whether you’re heading south to explore Minoan history or returning north after time on Greece’s largest island, this route runs year-round and gives you genuine flexibility to plan around your schedule.
On average, one ferry per day makes the crossing throughout the year, with frequencies picking up to one or two sailings daily during the spring and summer months.
