These are the sailings we recorded on this route from November 2025 to October 2026. They show what ran then, not a forecast: timetables change from year to year.
The Syros to Iraklia ferry route gives you access to one of the Small Cyclades, a cluster of quiet islands that sit in the shadow of their more famous neighbours. Ferries run from February through to June, which suits travellers looking to reach Iraklia outside the peak summer crowds.
Frequency is limited at around 2 ferries per week, so it pays to plan ahead rather than assuming you can hop on and off whenever you like.

Hiring a car
Can you rent a car in Syros?
Yes, and rental desks cluster right in Ermoupoli, a short walk from where the ferry docks. Syros Town itself is easily walkable, but a car earns its keep for reaching Kini, Galissas and Poseidonia beaches, each 8-10km away on the other side of the island. Compare prices across local suppliers at Discover Cars.

Tips for the Syros to Heraklia ferry
- The ferry dock sits right in Ermoupoli town centre, close to hotels, cafés and the bus station, so you can walk to most accommodation. In peak summer, arrive at least an hour early, or 60–90 minutes if you're bringing a car.
- There's no single ferry ticket office at the port – tickets are issued by several independent travel agencies clustered near the harbour, so check your booking confirmation for pickup details rather than expecting one terminal counter.
- A taxi rank is around 100 metres from the dock, but ranks empty fast in August, so pre-book a taxi or arrange a hotel transfer in advance rather than relying on hailing one on arrival.
- If you are at a small island when a multi-day storm hits, accommodation will fill quickly as stranded passengers compete for rooms – secure yours immediately.
- Disembarkation on large ferries can take 10–20 minutes after docking; do not panic if it seems slow – vehicles disembark first.
