Before you book

  • Heraklion and Souda, serving Chania, are distinct ferry gateways. Rethymno, Sitia and Kissamos have other connections. Search the exact ports and date; the catalogue does not promise every route operates daily.

  • Some sailings carry vehicles. Include your vehicle and correct dimensions in the search, confirm available space and check that the final booking covers all passengers and the vehicle.

  • Some sailings offer cabins as well as seats. Cabin type, availability and price depend on vessel and date. Check the actual option and whether you are booking a berth or a whole cabin.

  • No. Route tables use dated timetable samples. Search your travel date for current departures, availability and total price, then check the final provider quote.

  • Search your exact date and ports for an available connection. A Crete–Santorini route in the catalogue does not guarantee a daily or year-round sailing.

  • Check operator and port-authority updates before travelling. A sailing may change or be cancelled. Ask your booking provider about the options for your ticket; do not assume an automatic replacement or refund.
