Rhodes (Island) Crete to Rhodes
Posted: Tue May 26, 2009 01:09 PM UTC
I am looking at possibly going to Rhodes from Crete as part of an itinerary. I would be in Heraklion. So far I've discovered in my research that ferries only go from the east part of Crete Island. is this true? And if I need to get to either Hania or Nikolas Agiolaos to get the ferry, how do I get there?

I also found that the only direct flight is with Olympic Airlines and its an evening flight. Everything else goes via Athens.

Thats quite a bit more expensive. I am also seeking the most economic way as well. Sky Express says 98 euros, Olympic is 72 euros. But the answer remains unanswered about the ferry.

http://www.ferries.gr/gaferries/ booking engine for all ferries can't find any connections.

It is supposedly GA Ferries that should sail on the route, so you could contact the shipping line directly.

HansDK, this is no good. I need concrete info. Somebody who has done it and can offer me correct assistance. That site I've been to already. when I click GA Ferries and it pulls up the booking page so you can get info, it give me that airline for some reason.

Can someone provide the assistance to this question, preferably someone who has done it?

That a shipping line trafficked a route last season does mean that they will do this season. You need concrete info. Contact GA Ferries (they have their own website).

Sorry for trying to help you - will not happen again.

Well I found out there are no ferries from Heraklion, only from the east coast cities of Hania and Agios Nikoloas. Transfer is too long and costly. So my only real option would be to fly.
