Why travel by ferry from Mykonos to Ios?

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

To enjoy the incredible sea view

During the Mykonos Ios crossing, whether you are on deck, dining in the restaurant or relaxing in the comfortable lounges of the Hellenic Seaways, Cyclades Fast Ferries, Sea Jets or Golden Star Ferries 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.
For the comfort of a cabin
Although it is not compulsory to make the crossing from Mykonos to Ios by booking a cabin, you are depriving yourself of a comfort that the ferry is the only mode of transport to offer. Equipped with berths, private bathrooms and sometimes even portholes or balconies, the cabins are not unlike real hotel rooms. 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. However, when you board a Hellenic Seaways, Cyclades Fast Ferries, Sea Jets or Golden Star Ferries ferry in Mykonos, 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 Ios. However, it is advisable to ask the crew of Hellenic Seaways, Cyclades Fast Ferries, Sea Jets or Golden Star Ferries, as luggage lockers are often provided for passengers to store their luggage during the crossing.
