Why travel by ferry from Ios to Mykonos?

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

No need to worry about travelling 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 ship's huge garage. You leave it there for the duration of the Ios-Mykonos crossing in complete safety and without fear of it being damaged. You will find it when you disembark on your arrival in Mykonos.
For the comfort of a cabin
Although it is not compulsory to make the crossing from Ios to Mykonos by booking a cabin, you are depriving yourself of a comfort that the ferry is the only mode of transport to offer. Equipped with berths, private bathrooms and sometimes even portholes or balconies, the cabins are not unlike real hotel rooms. While their use is most obvious on an overnight crossing, it is perfectly possible to book one during the day.
So you don't have to worry about the amount of luggage
One piece of luggage is free, all the others have to be paid for. This is often the formula used when we travel with other modes of transport, which very often leads to a significant increase in the bill. However, when you board a Hellenic Seaways, Cyclades Fast Ferries, Sea Jets or Golden Star Ferries ferry in Ios, you are free to take as much luggage as you like, as long as it is contained in your vehicle. If you are travelling without a car, then you will be restricted in your movements throughout the journey to Mykonos. However, it is advisable to ask the crew of Hellenic Seaways, Cyclades Fast Ferries, Sea Jets or Golden Star Ferries, as luggage lockers are often provided for passengers to store their luggage during the crossing.
