Why travel by ferry from Milos to Heraklion?

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

Because it's the ideal way to travel with your family!
If you have children, there's no better way to travel from Milos to Heraklion as a family than by ferry. Everything is simpler. As soon as you leave Milos, imagine your children exploring the ship, spending long periods playing in the children's play areas or in the video games and arcades (for teenagers), watching the latest films in the cinema, sharing a family meal in the restaurant, or marvelling at a magic show or other countless activities. Your children will remember the Milos to Heraklion ferry trip for a long time.
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 Milos Heraklion crossing, whether you are on deck, dining in the restaurant or relaxing in the comfortable lounges of the ANEK Lines or Minoan 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
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. However, when you board a ANEK Lines or Minoan Lines ferry in Milos, you are free to take as much luggage as you like, as long as it is contained in your vehicle. If you are travelling without a car, then you will be restricted in your movements throughout the journey to Heraklion.
