Why travel by ferry from Kythnos to Santorini?

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

Taking your time becomes a pleasure
We live in a society where everything goes faster and faster. Yet you will enjoy setting sail from Kythnos on a Zante Ferries or Sea Jets ferry that will travel the 91 mi to Santorini at less than 40km/h. All ships are equipped with a multitude of services (bar, restaurants, lounges, entertainment, etc...). You may even regret arriving in Santorini so quickly!
Not to be bored on board... unlike the plane
Generally speaking, to get to Santorini or anywhere else, the plane is the fastest way. But you are stuck in your seat, strapped in by your seatbelt, and there is almost no opportunity to travel. During the Kythnos Santorini ferry journey with Sea Jets or Zante Ferries, there are countless opportunities to enjoy restaurants and bars, or to stroll and sunbathe on a promenade deck... A totally different experience to flying!
For the comfort of a cabin
Although it is not compulsory to make the crossing from Kythnos to Santorini 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. Even on a day crossing, enjoying the privacy of a cabin is still possible and much more comfortable than sitting in a lounge.
