From late March to early November, there are 1 to 3 ferries per day traveling from Santorini to Heraklio, Crete`s largest port. The ferry ride between the two takes 2 to 3 hours, typically departing Santorini in the afternoon and arriving in Heraklio between 5pm and 7pm.

• Best seats: I suggest Business or VIP if available (nicer seats in a more relaxed setting)
• Plan to purchase tickets ranging from 2 to 3 months ahead (earlier options may not be accessible yet, and later dates could have no availability)
