Why travel by ferry from Heraklion to Fri?

Whether you're travelling alone, as a couple or with the family, a Heraklion to Fri ferry can be a convenient and enjoyable option for getting to Fri. Here are 3 reasons why we think a ferry from Heraklion to Fri 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 Heraklion Fri crossing, whether you are on deck, dining in the restaurant or relaxing in the comfortable lounges of the Blue Star Ferries, Aigaion Pelagos or ANEK Lines 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.
So you don't have to worry about the amount of luggage
One piece of luggage is free, all the others have to be paid for. This is often the formula used when we travel with other modes of transport, which very often leads to a significant increase in the bill. For the Heraklion to Fri 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 Fri. However, it is worth asking the Blue Star Ferries, Aigaion Pelagos or ANEK Lines staff if the ship has a luggage storage facility where you can leave your bags until you reach Fri.
Enjoy a very attentive staff
Blue Star Ferries, Aigaion Pelagos or ANEK Lines staff will be at your disposal from the moment the ship leaves Heraklion until it leaves Fri. It is common to find an information desk on the ship, usually on the main deck.
