How much does the ferry from Chania to Loutro cost?

"How much is the ferry ticket from Chania to Loutro?" has several answers, because the operators price the slow boat and the fast boat differently, charge separately for vehicles and cabins, and raise fares in high season. Haqqi Tours provides the current cost for your date and party - foot passengers, seats or cabin - quickly of receiving the form, and tells you which sailing is the best value.

Let us know for two or three sailings and we send the cost of each - fast boat and slow boat, morning and afternoon - so you can see the difference before you book the Chania to Loutro ferry.

Cheapest ferry ticket from Chania to Loutro: how to pay less

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

• 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 often changes the fare
• Compare operators - on this route the cheapest company changes with the date
• Travel light - some fast boats limit luggage per passenger
• Book the return with the outbound - open returns and round-trip fares are cheaper on many operators

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

Timetable and season of the Chania to Loutro ferry

Sailing times on the Chania to Loutro route depend on the operator and the month - as a rule several sailings a day from April to October. Morning departures are normally the calmest and the most reliable; the last sailing of the day is the one to avoid if you have an onward connection. We choose the sailing to fit your plan and tell you the check-in time at Chora Sfakion (about 75 km south of Chania).

If a sailing is cancelled by the shipping line for weather, you are rebooked on the next available or refunded; our WhatsApp desk handles that for you on the day.

• Foot passengers: at the port 45-60 minutes before departure
• Keep the e-ticket and the ID or passport used for booking together
