BOAT
Crete is well served by ferry with at least one daily departure from Piraeus (near Athens)
to Iraklio and Hania year-round and several per day in summer. There are also slower
ferries once or twice a week to Sitia in the east and the western port of Kissamos. Ser-
vices are considerably curtailed from November to April. Timetables change from season
to season, and ferries are subject to delays and cancellations at short notice due to bad
weather, strikes or mechanical problems.
Ferry companies operating from Crete are Anek Lines ( www.anek.gr ) , Hellenic
Seaways ( www.hellenicseaways.gr ) , Lane Sea Lines ( www.lane-kithira.com ) , Minoan Lines
( www.minoan.gr ) and SeaJets ( www.seajets.gr ) .
The following table should be used as a guideline only since actual schedules and
prices fluctuate frequently. Prices quoted are for deck seating. For current routes and
timetables or to buy tickets, consult the ferry company's website or go to www.ferries.gr
