Why travel by ferry from Rafina to Santorini?

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

You get much more rest than in the car
Because of the heightened alertness required to drive a car on long journeys, driving is exhausting. The Rafina Santorini ferry journey is the opposite! On board, depending on the Golden Star Ferries or Sea Jets ship in service, everything is designed to give you time to relax in the calm of comfortable reclining lounges, to lounge on the outside decks, to entertain and to have fun. No doubt you'll arrive in Santorini completely relaxed.
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. However, when you board a Golden Star Ferries or Sea Jets ferry in Rafina, 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 Santorini. However, it is advisable to ask the crew of Golden Star Ferries or Sea Jets, as luggage lockers are often provided for passengers to store their luggage during the crossing.
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 Rafina Santorini crossing, whether you are on deck, dining in the restaurant or relaxing in the comfortable lounges of the Golden Star Ferries or Sea Jets 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.
