Why take a ferry from Heraklion to Mykonos ?

Whether you're travelling solo, with a partner or with the family, a Heraklion to Mykonos ferry can be a convenient and enjoyable option for getting to Mykonos. Here are 3 reasons why we think Heraklion to Mykonos ferry is an ideal way to travel.

No need to worry about traveling with your bike
Traveling with your bike by train, plane or bus often turns into a nightmare because it is so cumbersome to carry it. However, on a ferry, you don't have this problem: your bike is loaded directly into the huge garage of the boat. You leave it there for the duration of the Heraklion-Mykonos crossing in complete safety and without fear of it being damaged. You will find it when you disembark on your arrival in Mykonos.
Resting in a cabin
Although it is not compulsory to book a cabin for the crossing from Heraklion to Mykonos, you are depriving yourself of a comfort that the ferry is the only mode of transport to offer. Equipped with bunks, private bathrooms and sometimes even portholes or balconies, the cabins are just like real hotel rooms. If their use is more obvious during a night crossing, it is perfectly possible to book one during the day.
Not to worry about the number of bags
One piece of luggage is free, all the others must be paid for. This is often the formula used when we travel with other modes of transportation, which very often leads to a significant increase in the bill. For the Heraklion to Mykonos crossing, as long as all your luggage is contained in your car, no extra charge is required. If you are traveling without a car, then you will be restricted in your movements all the way to Mykonos. However, we recommend that you ask the Minoan Lines, Sea Jets, Hellenic Seaways or Cyclades Fast Ferries crew, as luggage lockers are often available for passengers to store their luggage during the crossing.
