Back to newsGreece's Minister of Tourism Vasilis Kikilias announced in Parliament that the government is introducing support measures for the ferry sector aimed at preventing rising fuel costs from being passed on to passengers. The goal is to keep ferry ticket prices affordable and stable. For tourists planning to travel to or from Crete by sea, this is relevant news: connections from Piraeus (Athens) and other ports to Heraklion, Chania, and Rethymno could remain more competitively priced this season. No specific price caps or subsidy amounts were detailed, but the government has signaled its intention to intervene in the market. Travelers are advised to book ferry tickets in advance regardless, as peak summer availability fills quickly independent of pricing policy.
