Ferry from Heraklion to Syros
The Heraklion–Syros ferry route links Crete with the heart of the Cyclades, taking you from Heraklion, Crete’s lively capital, to Syros and its arrival port on the island. It is a memorable way to leave Crete behind and watch the Aegean open out around you as your holiday moves from the southern edge of Greece towards the Cycladic islands. Syros is known for Ermoupoli, its elegant island capital, where neoclassical buildings, grand steps and a natural harbour give the destination a character distinct from the whitewashed villages found elsewhere in the Cyclades. The island makes an appealing base for exploring its beaches, villages and nearby Aegean landscapes, while the ferry journey itself creates a relaxed sense of transition between two very different parts of Greece.
For this route option, Seajets requires accommodation to be included in the booking, and passengers do not need to travel with a vehicle. Pet bookings are permitted, making the crossing a practical choice for travellers who want to bring a companion animal. Seajets requires passengers to check in at least 30 minutes before departure, while vehicles, where applicable, require check-in at least 60 minutes beforehand. At check-in, Seajets does not require the supplier ticket. Passengers should travel with accepted identification, as Seajets requires a passport and accepts an ID card or passport.
