Why travel by ferry from Ios to Folegandros?

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

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 Ios to Folegandros crossing, as long as all your luggage is contained in your car, no supplement is required. If you are travelling as a pedestrian, the conditions may be more restrictive as you will need to carry your luggage with you until you arrive in Folegandros. 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 Folegandros.
Not to be bored on board... unlike the plane
Generally speaking, to get to Folegandros or anywhere else, the plane is the fastest way. The problem is that you are stuck in your seat for several hours. On the other hand, during the Ios Folegandros crossing on the Zante Ferries, ANEK Lines, Hellenic Seaways, Sea Jets or LANE Sea Line ferry, you have total freedom in your activities, to eat, walk, entertain or rest. The services and the level of freedom during a flight are radically different!
To get some sea air
The health benefits of the sea have long been proven. During the Ios-Folegandros crossing, access the outside areas of the LANE Sea Line, Sea Jets, Hellenic Seaways, ANEK Lines or Zante Ferries ship to take a deep breath of air. A feeling of well-being will quickly take hold of you. This will allow you to start your holiday in Folegandros full of energy.
