Operators
On Board
Your ferry from Heraklion (Crete) to Santorini offers more than just transport, it is part of the Greek island experience. On conventional ferries (Blue Star, Fast Ferries), expect open sun decks where you can watch the Aegean unfold, full restaurants and cafes, shops, ATMs, and spacious indoor lounges. High-speed catamarans (Seajets, Hellenic Seaways) trade outdoor space for speed: airline-style interiors, snack bars, and panoramic windows.
All vessels, regardless of type, provide air-conditioned interiors, clean restrooms, and bilingual (Greek/English) announcements. During peak summer season, arrive early to claim the best deck spots.
