Connecting the island of Ios within the Cyclades Islands with the city of Heraklion on the island of Crete, this ferry route provides a connection between the quieter island of Ios, and the bustling island of Crete.

The city of Heraklion is the largest city on the island of Crete, and has a beautiful array of different architectures and historical landmarks that have made this city such a popular stop for visitors to Crete, as well as the beautiful beaches and friendly locals that you can expect from the Greek islands, and is perfectly located not only to give you access to the rest of the island, but also provides ferries to countless destinations including the mainland of Greece, the Cyclades Islands, and the Dodecanese Islands.
With up to 13 ferries running per week, provided by 3 ferry operators, and with sail times of between 2 hours and 45 minutes, and 6 hours and 5 minutes, there are plenty of ferries to choose from, so book now with Direct Ferries, to find the best ferry at the best price for you.
