Mykonos to Santorini Ferry Schedules
• How to acquire ferry tickets: Ferryhopper.com
• Best seats: I suggest Business or VIP if available (nicer seats in a more relaxed setting)
• The best time to book tickets is 2 to 3 months in advance (scheduling sooner and some ferry routes might not be available yet, later and certain ferries could fill up)
• Mykonos-Santorini ferry routes are seasonal, and operate from mid-March to late October, making stops in Naxos, Paros, and Ios along the path. Most ferry routes run in either direction so there is little variance between the Santorini to Mykonos ferries and the Mykonos to Santorini ferries. The only thing that changes is the departure time.
• Since most ferries connecting Mykonos to Santorini are small to medium-sized, they often sell out tickets (particularly in July, August, and September).
• All ferry routines can change with hardly any notification, so double-check courses and times.
