Departure: Chora Sfakion (about 75 km south of Chania)

The ferry from Chania to Agia Roumeli leaves from Chora Sfakion (about 75 km south of Chania), in Chania - Chania is the Venetian harbour town of western Crete, with the lighthouse, the old quarters and Balos and Elafonisi beaches. Foot passengers should be at the port 45 to 60 minutes before departure, earlier on international crossings where passports are checked. Getting there: A local bus links the airport with the Chania bus station in about 30 minutes, which suits one traveller going to the Old Town; hotels in Platanias, Kalyves, Georgioupolis or the south coast need a change of bus, so a private car to the door is simpler for families and luggage.

• Cafés, kiosks and waiting halls at Chora Sfakion (about 75 km south of Chania); some fast boats board only minutes before sailing
• Haqqi Tours offers a private transfer from your hotel in Chania to the port on request
• Ask us which gate or terminal your sailing uses - big ports have several
• Foot passengers: at the port 45-60 minutes before departure

Arrival: Agia Roumeli

You step off at Agia Roumeli. Taxis and buses meet the boats. If you would rather not think about it, we book a driver to meet the ferry and take you to the door of your hotel.

Arriving late? We note your arrival and, if you have booked a transfer, the driver tracks the ferry, so a delay costs you nothing.

Best time to take the ferry from Chania to Agia Roumeli

For the ferry itself, late spring and early autumn bring calm seas, full timetables and reasonable fares; July and August are the busiest and the most expensive, and the windiest weeks can cancel the fast boats. Winter schedules are thinner on many crossings, so we check before you plan.

Ferry or flight from Chania to Agia Roumeli?

Weighing a flight against the ferry from Chania to Agia Roumeli? Add the airport time at both ends and the transfer from the arrival airport, and the ferry is often as fast door to door - about 1 hour 10 minutes at sea and normally cheaper, with no baggage fees. We book whichever suits you.

Return ferry from Agia Roumeli to Chania

We book the return crossing from Agia Roumeli to Chania just as easily, generally on the same confirmation.

Tell us the day you want to come back on the form and we send both directions with the cost.

How much does the ferry from Chania to Agia Roumeli cost?

Ferry prices from Chania to Agia Roumeli move with the season and the vessel: the same crossing can cost a fraction on the conventional ferry in April of what the high-speed boat costs on an August weekend. Rather than quote a figure that will be wrong next week, we check the fare for the day you want to sail and send it on WhatsApp before you decide.

What we include in the price we send: the ticket for each passenger, any reserved seat or cabin you asked for, port taxes, and our service - checking the timetable, booking, sending the electronic ticket and answering questions before and during the crossing.

Cheapest ferry ticket from Chania to Agia Roumeli: how to pay less

The cheapest ferry ticket from Chania to Agia Roumeli is typically on the conventional ferry, booked early, on a weekday outside the peak weeks. These are the rules our team applies:

• Book the return with the outbound - open returns and round-trip fares are cheaper on many operators
• Ask about children's, student and resident fares, and about vehicle offers outside high season
• Choose the conventional ferry over the high-speed boat when time allows - it is cheaper, steadier and frequently more scenic
• Book early for July, August, Easter and holiday weekends, when sailings sell out and fares rise
• Travel on a weekday - Friday and Sunday sailings carry the highest fares
• Let us know if your dates are flexible; moving by a day frequently changes the fare

Send us the form with your dates and we tell you which sailing is the cheapest ferry from Chania to Agia Roumeli that day and how much a different day would save.
