Why travel by ferry from Heraklion to Mykonos?

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

No need to worry about travelling with your bike
Travelling with your bike on a train, plane or bus is often a nightmare because it is so cumbersome to carry. 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 Heraklion-Mykonos crossing in complete safety and without fear of it being damaged. You will find it when you disembark on your arrival in Mykonos.
Resting in a cabin
Although it is not compulsory to make the crossing from Heraklion 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. For the Heraklion to Mykonos crossing, as long as all your luggage is contained in your car, no supplement is required. 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 Minoan Lines, Sea Jets, Hellenic Seaways or Cyclades Fast Ferries, as luggage lockers are often provided for passengers to store their luggage during the crossing.
