Why travel by ferry from Santorini to Rhodes?

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

Transporting your bike is not a problem
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 Santorini to Rhodes with complete peace of mind, without fear of damage to your bike. You will find it when you disembark on your arrival in Rhodes.
It's much less boring than on a plane
If you compare the speed, the plane is certainly the fastest way to get from Santorini to Rhodes. But you are stuck in your seat, strapped in by your seatbelt, and there is almost no opportunity to travel. During the Santorini Rhodes 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!
To finally take the time to travel
We live in a society where everything goes faster and faster. On board a Blue Star Ferries or ANEK Lines ferry you will enjoy a smooth start from Santorini and sailing at less than 40km/h to Rhodes. All ships are equipped with lounges, restaurants, promenade decks, and sometimes much more... You may even find your Santorini-Rhodes crossing a little too short!
