Back to newsFerry ticket prices for travel to Crete, the Cyclades, and the Dodecanese have been published for the 2026 season. Routes to Crete typically depart from Piraeus (Athens) and take between 7 and 9 hours depending on the vessel type. Prices vary based on the class of travel, with deck tickets being the most affordable option and cabin berths available at higher rates. Travelers planning a ferry crossing to Crete should book in advance during peak summer months (July and August) as capacity fills quickly. Tickets can be purchased through ferry company websites or authorized agents. Visitors arriving by sea will dock at Heraklion, Chania, or Rethymno ports, all of which offer connections to major tourist areas across the island.
