Why travel by ferry from Chalki to Heraklion?

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

To not get tired, unlike in the car
Long car journeys are tiring and require constant vigilance when driving. Conversely, a Chalki Heraklion boat trip is ultra relaxing. Ferries operated by Blue Star Ferries or ANEK Lines are designed with areas dedicated to relaxation or entertainment: lounges or cabins, outdoor solarium, bars and restaurants... No doubt you'll arrive in Heraklion completely relaxed.
So you don't have to worry about the amount of luggage
With the train, bus or plane, an excess of one free piece of luggage is often applied and each additional piece of luggage generates an additional cost. On the Chalki Heraklion 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 Heraklion. However, it is worth asking the Blue Star Ferries or ANEK Lines staff if the ship has a luggage storage facility where you can leave your bags until you reach Heraklion.
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 leave it there for the duration of the Chalki-Heraklion crossing in complete safety and without fear of it being damaged. You will find it when you disembark on your arrival in Heraklion.
