Why travel by ferry from Fri to Heraklion?

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

To enjoy the incredible sea view
Generally, when we go on holiday by the sea, we look for a sea view as much as possible (at the restaurant, at the hotel, on a hike...). During the Fri Heraklion crossing, whether you are on deck, dining in the restaurant or relaxing in the comfortable lounges of the ANEK Lines, Blue Star Ferries or Aigaion Pelagos ship, you will simply have a front row seat to the incredible spectacle that the sea offers. Everywhere, large windows give you an extraordinary view of the azure blue sea to make the most of its soothing power.
To finally take the time to travel
We live in a society where everything goes faster and faster. Sailing at less than 40km/h on board a ANEK Lines, Blue Star Ferries or Aigaion Pelagos ferry for the 101 mi between Fri and Heraklion will be a relaxing stop. All ships are equipped with lounges, restaurants, promenade decks, and sometimes much more... You may even regret arriving in Heraklion so quickly!
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 Fri 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. However, it is worth asking the ANEK Lines, Blue Star Ferries or Aigaion Pelagos staff if the ship has a luggage storage facility where you can leave your bags until you reach Heraklion.
