Why travel by ferry from Rhodes to Santorini?

Whether you're travelling alone, as a couple or with the family, a Rhodes to Santorini ferry can be a convenient and enjoyable option for getting to Santorini. Here are 3 reasons why we think a ferry from Rhodes to Santorini 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 travel from Rhodes to Santorini with complete peace of mind, without fear of damage to your bike. You will get on your bike in Santorini to get off the boat.
Taking your time becomes a pleasure
We live in a society where everything goes faster and faster. Yet you will enjoy setting sail from Rhodes on a Blue Star Ferries or ANEK Lines ferry that will travel the 154 mi to Santorini at less than 40km/h. All ships are equipped with lounges, restaurants, promenade decks, and sometimes much more... You may even regret arriving in Santorini so quickly!
It's much less boring than on a 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 Rhodes Santorini ferry journey with ANEK Lines or Blue Star Ferries, there are countless opportunities to enjoy restaurants and bars, or to stroll and sunbathe on a promenade deck... The services and the level of freedom during a flight are radically different!
