Why take a ferry from Rhodes to Santorini ?

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

No need to worry about traveling with your bike
On the train, bus or plane, it is often very complicated and sometimes impossible to travel with this cumbersome companion: your bike. However, on a ferry, you don't have this problem: your bike is loaded directly into the huge garage of the boat. You travel from Rhodes to Santorini in complete peace of mind, without fear of your bike being damaged. You will get on your bike in Santorini to get off the boat.
Taking your time becomes a pleasure
We live in a society where everything goes faster and faster. However, you will appreciate setting sail from Rhodes on a Blue Star Ferries or ANEK Lines ferry that will travel the 154 mi to Santorini at less than 40km/h. All ships are equipped with lounges, restaurants, promenade decks, and sometimes much more... It is even likely that you will regret arriving in Santorini so quickly!
It's much less boring than on a plane
Generally, to get to Santorini or anywhere else, the plane is the fastest way. But you are stuck in your seat, tied down by your seatbelt and the opportunities to move around are almost nil. During the Rhodes Santorini ferry trip with ANEK Lines or Blue Star Ferries, there are countless opportunities for entertainment with restaurants and bars, or to stroll and sunbathe on a promenade deck... The services and the level of freedom during a flight are radically different!
