Why travel by ferry from Syros to Santorini?

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

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...). You'll enjoy a 360-degree view of the ocean from the port of Syros to Santorini, whether you're having lunch or relaxing in one of the ship's lounges. Everywhere, large windows give you an extraordinary view of the azure blue sea to make the most of its soothing power.
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-Santorini crossing in complete safety and without fear of it being damaged. You will get on your bike in Santorini to get off the boat.
You get much more rest than in the car
Driving for miles on end is not very relaxing, especially if you add the risk of traffic jams and accidents. The Syros Santorini ferry journey is the opposite! On board, depending on the Minoan Lines, Cyclades Fast Ferries, Hellenic Seaways, Sea Jets 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. No doubt you'll arrive in Santorini completely relaxed.
