Timetable and season of the Heraklion to Mykonos ferry

Daily in summer (April-October) - that is how frequently the ferry from Heraklion to Mykonos runs, with more departures in summer and fewer, sometimes weather-dependent, in winter. Allow about 3 hours 30 minutes at sea plus check-in at the port. Timetables change between seasons, so we send the exact departures for your dates rather than a list that may be out of date.

For a connection at Mykonos - a flight, a train or another ferry - let us know and we choose a sailing with a comfortable margin.

Departure: Heraklion port, Crete

Your crossing starts at Heraklion port, Crete. Large ports have several gates and the boarding gate is announced on the boards and on the ticket; we send the gate and the check-in time with your confirmation. The airport bus and the city buses reach the centre in about 20 minutes and suit a central hotel; a private car is simpler for the north-coast resorts, for Elounda and Agios Nikolaos, or for crossing the island to Rethymno and Chania, where buses are slower and change at the station.

• Luggage is carried free within the ferry company's limits; large bags go on the racks or the car deck
• Cafés, kiosks and waiting halls at Heraklion port, Crete; some fast boats board only minutes before sailing
• Haqqi Tours arranges a private transfer from your hotel in Heraklion to the port on request
• Just ask which gate or terminal your sailing uses - big ports have several

Arrival: Mykonos New Port (Tourlos)

You step off at Mykonos New Port (Tourlos), close to Agios Ioannis and Paradise and Super Paradise. Public buses run from Fabrika square and the Old Port to the main beaches in summer but are crowded, and taxis are scarce in high season; a pre-booked private car from the airport or port is the simplest option, especially with luggage or a late arrival. 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.

Many passengers continue from Mykonos to another island or city. We provide those tickets too, so one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole itinerary.

On board the Heraklion to Mykonos ferry: seats, cabins and luggage

What is the Heraklion to Mykonos ferry like on board? High-speed catamarans, with airline-style seats, lounges, a café or restaurant and open decks on the larger ships; overnight vessels add cabins with beds and showers. Luggage is not weighed; you keep it with you or on the racks. Haqqi Tours explains the seat and cabin options for the exact ship you are booking so you pay for what you will use.

• Seats: economy, airline-style, lounge and business on the fast boats; deck seats on the slow ferries
• Cabins with beds and showers on overnight sailings - two to four berths
• Café, bar or restaurant on most vessels; open decks on the conventional ferries
• Passengers only - luggage stays with you

Things to do in Mykonos after the ferry

Mykonos is the glamorous Cycladic island of windmills, Little Venice, beach clubs and the sacred island of Delos. Arriving by sea puts you in the middle of it: the Armenistis lighthouse, the Panagia Tourliani monastery, Little Venice, the Kato Mili windmills and the Paraportiani church are all reachable from Mykonos New Port (Tourlos). For the first meal, try amygdalota, almond sweets, grilled octopus and Greek salad with barley rusks.

We offer tours and transfers in Mykonos as well as the ferry ticket - one conversation, one plan for the whole trip.

Best time to take the ferry from Heraklion to Mykonos

Late May to June and September to early October are warm and less crowded; July and August are the busiest months, with heavy traffic between 5 and 8 pm and a strong meltemi wind that can stop boats to Delos; most businesses close from November to April. On the water, the season shows in sea conditions and availability more than in comfort: book early for summer, Easter and holiday weekends between Heraklion and Mykonos, and choose morning sailings when the wind is forecast.

Weighing a flight against the ferry from Heraklion to Mykonos? 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 3 hours 30 minutes at sea and generally cheaper, with no baggage fees. We book whichever suits you.

Return ferry from Mykonos to Heraklion

The Mykonos to Heraklion ferry is the same crossing in reverse, about 3 hours 30 minutes. Haqqi Tours can provide the return ticket in the same conversation; if the return date is not fixed, an open return on the same operator keeps it flexible.

How much does the ferry from Heraklion to Mykonos cost?

The cost of the ferry from Heraklion to Mykonos depends on the shipping line, the type of vessel, the date, whether you travel as a foot passenger or with a car, and the seat or cabin you choose. A conventional ferry is cheaper than a high-speed one; a summer Saturday costs more than a weekday in May; a car adds a vehicle fare; a cabin on an overnight sailing adds more. That is why Haqqi Tours does not print a price: we verify the live fares for your exact date and send the real cost on WhatsApp, with the options side by side.

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 e-ticket and answering questions before and during the crossing.
