Why travel by ferry from Folegandros to Ios?

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

Not to be bored on board... unlike the plane
Generally speaking, to get to Ios or anywhere else, the plane is the fastest way. The problem is that you are stuck in your seat for several hours. During the Folegandros Ios ferry journey with Zante Ferries, ANEK Lines, Hellenic Seaways, Sea Jets or LANE Sea Line, 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!
Resting in a cabin
Although it is not compulsory to make the crossing from Folegandros to Ios by booking a cabin, you are depriving yourself of a comfort that the ferry is the only mode of transport to offer. Like real hotel rooms, they offer travellers beds, bathrooms and, in some suites, portholes and balconies. While their use is most obvious on an overnight crossing, it is perfectly possible to book one during the day.
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. For the Folegandros to Ios 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 Ios. However, it is worth asking the LANE Sea Line, Sea Jets, Hellenic Seaways, ANEK Lines or Zante Ferries staff if the ship has a luggage storage facility where you can leave your bags until you reach Ios.
