Why travel by ferry from Rhodes to Sitia?

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

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 Rhodes to Sitia 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 Sitia. However, many ships provide luggage storage for foot passengers. Check with ANEK Lines, Sea Jets or Blue Star Ferries.
Because it's the ideal way to travel with your family!
Travelling by ferry is simply the ideal way to travel between Rhodes and Sitia when you are with your family and especially with children. Everything is simpler. As soon as you leave Rhodes, imagine your children exploring the ship, spending long periods playing in the children's play areas or in the video games and arcades (for teenagers), watching the latest films in the cinema, sharing a family meal in the restaurant, or marvelling at a magic show or other countless activities. On board the ferry to Sitia, time flies by faster than you think and this maritime experience between Rhodes and Sitia will remain unforgettable for your children for a long time.
It's much less boring than on a plane
If you compare the speed, the plane is certainly the fastest way to get from Rhodes to Sitia. But you are stuck in your seat, strapped in by your seatbelt, and there is almost no opportunity to travel. On the other hand, during the Rhodes Sitia crossing on the Blue Star Ferries, Sea Jets or ANEK Lines ferry, you have total freedom in your activities, to eat, walk, entertain or rest. A totally different experience to flying!
