Heraklion Port serves as a major arrival point for travelers coming from Athens (Piraeus) and other Greek islands by ferry.
Visitors arriving by ferry at Heraklion are advised to exercise caution during boarding and disembarkation, particularly when carrying luggage on gangways or moving between vessel decks and the dock. Wearing appropriate footwear and following crew instructions during disembarkation can significantly reduce the risk of accidents. If you require assistance boarding or disembarking, port staff are available to help upon request.
