Which ports serve Crete?

Heraklion and Souda (Chania) are the main gateways for overnight ferries from Piraeus. Rethymno, Sitia and Kissamos have other connections; routes and operating days vary by season.

Can I take a car to Crete?

Vehicle space is available on many conventional ferries. Enter your vehicle in the search and confirm its dimensions and the operator’s requirements before paying. Passenger and vehicle tickets are separate.

Can I book an overnight cabin?

Some Piraeus–Crete sailings offer cabins as well as seats. Availability, cabin type and price depend on the vessel and date. Compare the live options before booking.

Are these prices live?

The route tables are reference data from dated timetable samples. Use the search for your travel date to check current departures, availability and prices.

Can I travel from Crete to Santorini?

Seasonal services link Crete with Santorini and other Aegean destinations. Search your exact date: a route in the catalogue does not guarantee a sailing every day.

What happens in bad weather?

The operator or port authority may change or cancel a sailing. Check the operator’s notices and your booking contact details. Rebooking and refunds follow the applicable passenger rights and ticket conditions.
