Syros to Heraklion links the administrative capital of the Cyclades with the largest city on Crete, and the Seajets high-speed craft cover it in a bit under six hours. The Worldchampion Jet and Champions League Jet 2 are big fast catamarans with reserved indoor seating, and the routing takes in several Cycladic islands before turning south for Crete. It is a long day aboard, but a fast one for the distance.

Heraklion is a busy working city rather than a resort, with a Venetian old core and the Koules fortress guarding the entrance to the old harbour. It is the main gateway for Crete, with the Palace of Knossos a short trip inland and the Archaeological Museum in the centre. The ferry port is close enough to walk into town, and onward buses and car hire are easy to arrange.

The route operates roughly once a day in high season, and the last published timetable is shown below. Heraklion also has one of Greece's busier airports, so it works well as an exit point from a Cyclades trip.
