Karpathos to Heraklion Ferry

The Port of Heraklion, located on the northern coast of Crete, is one of the largest and busiest ports in Greece. As a major maritime hub, it offers frequent ferry connections to Athens (Piraeus) and popular destinations such as Santorini, Mykonos, Rhodes, and other Aegean islands.

Situated close to the vibrant city centre of Heraklion, the port provides easy access to historical attractions like the Palace of Knossos, the Heraklion Archaeological Museum, and local markets. The Port of Heraklion is the ideal gateway for exploring the rich culture, history, and natural beauty of Crete and surrounding islands.

The port of Karpathos, known as Pigadia port, is the largest port on the island. It is situated northeast of Pigadia. Surrounded by large rocky hills, it lies within walking distance of the town centre and offers great views of Pigadia’s picturesque houses. Visitors can find some cafes and traditional taverns along the seaside promenade serving local delicacies.

Located between Rhodes and Crete, Karpathos is one of the remotest islands in the Dodecanese. High mountains, pristine landscapes, fragrant pine groves, traditional villages, turquoise waters, and rich history make this island an ideal holiday destination. The long-standing customs and traditions have influenced the daily lives of the residents and are also incorporated into their festivals, which tourists are welcome to join.
