Minoan Lines Holds Ticket Prices Steady for May Despite Rising Costs

Monday, 4 May 2026/CretaOne/1 
MINOAN LINES, one of the main ferry operators connecting mainland Greece to Crete, is holding ticket prices steady for May travel despite rising operational costs. The company serves routes between Piraeus (Athens) and the ports of Heraklion and Chania, making it a primary option for travelers bringing vehicles to the island or preferring overnight sea crossings over flights. Alongside the fixed base fares, MINOAN LINES offers year-round loyalty benefits and seasonal promotions that can reduce costs further for early or flexible bookers. Tourists planning to travel to Crete by ferry in May should check the official website for current promotional fares and cabin availability, as spring sailings book up quickly ahead of the summer season. Booking in advance is recommended to secure the best rates.
