Why travel by ferry from Santorini to Chalki?

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

To enjoy the incredible sea view
Every time we go on holiday on the coast, we look for the best view of the sea. You'll enjoy a 360-degree view of the ocean from the port of Santorini to Chalki, whether you're having lunch or relaxing in one of the ship's lounges. Restaurant, bars, lounges, cabins,... the magnificent views of the sea are omnipresent on board the ship.
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 Santorini Chalki ferry journey is the opposite! On board, depending on the Aigaion Pelagos, Blue Star Ferries or ANEK Lines 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. You arrive in Chalki stress-free and totally relaxed.
For the comfort of a cabin
Although it is not compulsory to make the crossing from Santorini to Chalki 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. Even on a day crossing, enjoying the privacy of a cabin is still possible and much more comfortable than sitting in a lounge.
