Heraklion to Naxos ferries from 75 €

Taverna Paradiso in Agia Anna near the sea.

In the high season there are about 10 crossings per week. The average crossing time is 3 hours and 20 minutes.

The Heraklion (Crete) to Naxos ferry is operated by two ferry companies: Minoan Lines and Seajets. This route connects Crete to the Cyclades and you can take your car on this route or travel as a foot passenger. This route is operated exclusively by fast ferries to reduce your journey time.

This route is only available in the summer: normally around May to October. The approximate distance from start to finish is 232.4 kilometres (around 125 nautical miles). You can travel with your pet (cat or dog) but as the route operates with fast ferries restrictions may apply, see the FAQ section details.

The average price for a one way foot passenger crossing in July is 78 Euros and for a car 58 Euros.

Can I take my dog or cat with me?

Yes, you can take your dog or other pet on the ferry but it isn't possible to book a space in the kennel in advance. All Greek ships by law must have some kennel space.

On conventional ferries
If you are travelling on conventional ferry (not a fast ferry or catamaran) there is normally space available in the kennels and you should also be able to have your dog on all deck areas (but not inside) with you. Strictly speaking, this at the discretion of the ferry company but in general you should have no issues - though please take a muzzle with you just in case and keep your dog on a leash at all times. Small sized dogs and cats can travel in the ship as long as they stay inside a special travel box.

The other option, for absolute peace of mind, is to book a pet cabin. These are like normal cabins but have linoleum flooring. They are also available for day crossings at reasonable prices. This way you don't have to worry about finding space in the kennels and you and your dog or cat can relax. In July and August ferries can get very busy with people and other dogs.
On fast ferries or catamarans
Fast ferries and catamarans will also have kennels but these will be limited in number. In addition, the majority of fast ferries (though there are exceptions) don't have open deck space accessible throughout the journey, so you will not be able to stay out with your pet during your crossing. However, if your pet is small and inside a travel box you will be able to keep him or her inside.

Can I pay by PayPal or debit card?

Can I take my bicyle with me and what do I have to do?

You can take your bike with you for free from Heraklion to Naxos if you travel on large ships such as those from the company Seajets. However, on ships without a garage, bicycles are normally not allowed inside. You'll see if the ship has a garage when making your reservation. Heraklion can be busy in the summer so it is a good idea to tell a member of the port staff that you have a bike in case you might need extra assistance.
