Why travel by ferry from Mykonos to Santorini?

Whether you're travelling alone, as a couple or with the family, a Mykonos to Santorini ferry can be a convenient and enjoyable option for getting to Santorini. Here are 3 reasons why we think a ferry from Mykonos to Santorini 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 Mykonos-Santorini crossing in complete safety and without fear of it being damaged. You will get on your bike in Santorini to get off the boat.
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. On the Mykonos Santorini ferry, you can take as much luggage as you like, within the capacity of your vehicle. If you are travelling without a car, then you will be restricted in your movements throughout the journey to Santorini. However, many ships provide luggage storage for foot passengers. Check with Cyclades Fast Ferries, Golden Star Ferries, Minoan Lines, Hellenic Seaways or Sea Jets.
Taking your time becomes a pleasure
We live in a society where everything goes faster and faster. Yet you will enjoy setting sail from Mykonos on a Cyclades Fast Ferries, Golden Star Ferries, Minoan Lines, Hellenic Seaways or Sea Jets ferry that will travel the 73 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!
