Tips for the Heraklion–Mykonos Ferry
- If your schedule is tight – say, a flight the following morning – prioritise reliability over speed. On a route like this, a conventional ferry running to schedule beats a fast catamaran that may be delayed by wind or sea conditions.
- Arrive at the port early and board as soon as boarding opens. On open-plan vessels the prime spots – window seats and outdoor deck positions – go fast, and you will want somewhere comfortable for a crossing of up to four and three-quarter hours.
- It is worth checking the ferry operator’s own website before booking through a third-party platform. Prices are often identical, and dealing directly with the company makes any changes or cancellations considerably more straightforward.
- If rough seas concern you, position yourself inside the vessel near the centre, which is the most stable point of the hull. Avoid sitting close to windows if the sight of moving waves tends to affect you.
- In Mykonos, the iconic windmills overlooking Little Venice and the maze of whitewashed lanes in Chora are as recognisable as any image in the Greek islands. The island is equally famous for its beach clubs and vibrant nightlife, with Paradise Beach among the liveliest spots on the Aegean.
