Why travel by ferry from Santorini to Sitia?

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

Because it's the ideal way to travel with your family!
Travelling by ferry is simply the ideal way to travel between Santorini and Sitia when you are with your family and especially with children. Everything is simpler. As soon as you leave Santorini, 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 Santorini to Sitia ferry trip for a long time.
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 ANEK Lines or Blue Star Ferries ferry in Santorini, 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 Sitia. However, it is advisable to ask the crew of ANEK Lines or Blue Star Ferries, as luggage lockers are often provided for passengers to store their luggage during the crossing.
It's much less boring than on a plane
If you compare the speed, the plane is certainly the fastest way to get from Santorini to Sitia. But you are stuck in your seat, strapped in by your seatbelt, and there is almost no opportunity to travel. On the other hand, during the Santorini Sitia crossing on the Blue Star Ferries or ANEK Lines ferry, you have total freedom in your activities, to eat, walk, entertain or rest. A flight will never provide you with so many services during the trip.
