Why travel by ferry from Syros to Heraklion?

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

For a caring staff
Minoan Lines, Sea Jets, ANEK Lines or Cyclades Fast Ferries staff will be at your disposal from the moment the ship leaves Syros until it leaves Heraklion. They will orient you in the ship, guide you to your cabin, serve you in the restaurant and answer any questions you may have. An information desk is almost always located on the main deck of the ship.
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 Minoan Lines, Sea Jets, ANEK Lines or Cyclades Fast Ferries ferry in Syros, 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. However, it is worth asking the Minoan Lines, Sea Jets, ANEK Lines or Cyclades Fast Ferries staff if the ship has a luggage storage facility where you can leave your bags until you reach Heraklion.
No need to worry about travelling with your bike
Travelling with your bike on a train, plane or bus is often a nightmare because it is so cumbersome to carry. However, on a ferry, you don't have this problem: your bike is loaded directly into the ship's huge garage. You leave it there for the duration of the Syros-Heraklion crossing in complete safety and without fear of it being damaged. You will find it when you disembark on your arrival in Heraklion.
