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

To finally take the time to travel
It is well known that we live in a society where everything has to go fast, faster and faster. Sailing at less than 40km/h on board a ANEK Lines, Aigaion Pelagos or Blue Star Ferries ferry for the 80 mi between Anafi and Heraklion will be a relaxing stop. All ships are equipped with a multitude of services (bar, restaurants, lounges, entertainment, etc...). You may even regret arriving in Heraklion so quickly!
For a caring staff
ANEK Lines, Aigaion Pelagos or Blue Star Ferries staff will be at your disposal from the moment the ship leaves Anafi until it leaves Heraklion. They will orient you in the ship, guide you to your cabin, serve you in the restaurant and answer any questions you may have. An information desk is almost always located on the main deck of the ship.
So you don't have to worry about the amount of luggage

For the Anafi to Heraklion 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 Heraklion.
