Mykonos to Heraklion Ferry

A ferry journey from Mykonos to Heraklion links the whitewashed energy of the Cyclades with the larger, richly varied island of Crete. Leaving Mykonos, the familiar windmills and bright Aegean light soon give way to open sea, making the crossing feel like a natural next chapter in a Greek island holiday. Heraklion, on Crete’s north coast, is the island’s capital and a lively gateway to beaches, mountain villages, local food traditions and ancient sites. The city is particularly well placed for visiting Knossos, the celebrated Bronze Age palace associated with Minoan civilisation. Its old harbour, Venetian walls and bustling streets give arrival in Heraklion a distinctly urban Mediterranean character.
