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

The fresh sea air and the waves that rock the ferry will instantly soothe you. You'll arrive in Heraklion perfectly zen and full of energy.
Not to worry about the number of bags
With the train, bus or plane, a free baggage allowance is often applied and any additional baggage generates an additional cost. For the Mykonos to Heraklion crossing, as long as all your luggage is contained in your car, no extra charge is required.

However, we recommend that you ask the Minoan Lines, Hellenic Seaways, Sea Jets or Cyclades Fast Ferries crew, as luggage lockers are often available for passengers to store their luggage during the crossing.
To not get tired, unlike the car
Driving a car for miles on end is not very relaxing, especially if you add the risk of traffic jams and accidents. On the contrary, the experience of a Mykonos Heraklion ferry crossing is ultra relaxing. On board, depending on the Minoan Lines, Hellenic Seaways, Sea Jets or Cyclades Fast Ferries ship in service, everything is done to relax in the calm of comfortable reclining lounges, to give you time to yourself, to lounge on the outside decks, to entertain and have fun.
