Have you decided to explore Santorini after spending several pleasant days on the magnificent beaches of Crete? Take a Heraklion Santorini ferry and go on holiday with MrFerry!
Crete is the largest island in Greece and the cradle of the Minoan civilisation, which also reached Santorini. In Crete, in addition to archaeological wonders, you will find a thousand opportunities for recreation, long beaches with all amenities, lively shopping districts, tavernas serving excellent dishes with fresh, wholesome ingredients, and crowded nightclubs.
π’ The ferry company Minoan Lines operates the Heraklion Santorini connection. The route only operates in the high season, from June to September, with 3 departures per week. The journey time is 2 hours.
Santorini, famous for its scenic landscapes, is one of the most visited destinations in Greece. White houses stand out against the black of the lava rocks and the blue of the sea. Spend an evening in the small towns of Fira and Oia, admire the characteristic blue-domed churches and lose yourself in the myriad colours and flavours of Greek culture.
βοΈ Spend a day at the beach! The most famous is certainly Red Beach, named after the deep red colour of the cliffs. Perissa, on the other hand, is characterised by black sand, and is ideal for those who love comfort: you will find sunbeds and umbrellas and a profusion of bars, restaurants and shops along the seafront.
π As the shape of the island suggests, Santorini was an ancient volcano, whose caldera partially collapsed during the great explosion of 1600 BC. Today, volcanic activity is constantly monitored and the last eruption was in 1950. The eruption started from the islet of Nea Kameni, which can be visited by boat from Santorini. Here you will be able to see several newly formed craters and walk through the magical moonscape.
