Starting from the 12nd of June 2021, Minoan Lines will launch the new fast ferry connection Piraeus - Cyclades Islands - Heraklion operated with the ultra-modern HSF Santorini Palace catamaran.
This new ferry line will allow to reach in full speed and comfort the main islands of the Cyclades archipelago, undisputed destinations of European tourism in Greece.
The Cyclades line can be offered in combination with ferries to Greece from Italy, but it is also very convenient for passengers who fly to Greece from Athens and Heraklion airports and want to travel quickly to their favourite island.
The itinerary includes 3 weekly departures from Piraeus (Monday, Thursday and Saturday) and 3 from Heraklion (Tuesday, Friday, Sunday) to Syros, Mykonos, Paros, Naxos, Santorini. On Saturday departures from Piraeus and Sunday departures from Heraklion, the island of Tinos will also be visited.
