Arrival: Heraklion port, Crete

From the pier you are minutes from taxis, buses and the town itself. Haqqi Tours arranges a private transfer from the port to your hotel in Heraklion with a driver waiting at the exit, which for a family with bags is the easiest way to finish the Mykonos to Heraklion crossing.

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

On board, the ferry from Mykonos to Heraklion is relaxed: you can walk about, sit inside or on deck, eat at the café and watch the coast. Seat classes differ in space and quiet - economy, airline seats, lounge or business on the fast boats; cabins of two to four berths on overnight ferries. The fast boats are passenger-only, so bags stay with you.

Things to do in Heraklion after the ferry

Heraklion is Crete's capital, with the palace of Knossos, the Venetian harbour and the beaches and villages of the east. Start with the Koules sea fortress, the Venetian Loggia and the Morosini fountain, then the Historical Museum of Crete and the church of Agios Titos. A tip from our desk: Let us know your flight number, hotel name and, for the resorts, the area or street; in summer allow extra time for the coastal road in the late afternoon, and ask your driver for a stop if you are heading to western Crete.

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

Best time to take the ferry from Mykonos to Heraklion

April to June and September to October are warm and less crowded, July and August are the hottest months and the busiest for traffic on the north-coast road, and the sea is comfortable from June to October; winter is mild but wet. 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 look up before you plan.

Ferry or flight from Mykonos to Heraklion?

Ferry versus plane between Mykonos and Heraklion comes down to time, luggage and the view: the ferry has the deck, the luggage and the town-centre arrival; the plane has speed. On this route the ferry is the option Haqqi Tours recommends first for families and anyone with a car.

Return ferry from Heraklion to Mykonos

The Heraklion to Mykonos ferry is the same crossing in reverse, about 3 hours 30 minutes. Haqqi Tours offers 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 Mykonos to Heraklion cost?

Ferry prices from Mykonos to Heraklion 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 in the WhatsApp chat 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.

Timetable and season of the Mykonos to Heraklion ferry

Sailing times on the Mykonos to Heraklion route depend on the operator and the month - as a rule daily in summer (April-October). Morning departures are usually 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 Mykonos New Port (Tourlos).

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

Departure: Mykonos New Port (Tourlos)

The ferry from Mykonos to Heraklion leaves from Mykonos New Port (Tourlos), in Mykonos - Mykonos is the glamorous Cycladic island of windmills, Little Venice, beach clubs and the sacred island of Delos. Foot passengers should be at the port 45 to 60 minutes before departure, earlier on international crossings where passports are checked. Getting there: 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.

• Let us know which gate or terminal your sailing uses - big ports have several
• Foot passengers: at the port 45-60 minutes before departure
• Keep the e-ticket and the ID or passport used for booking together
• Luggage is carried free within the shipping line's limits; large bags go on the racks or the car deck
