How do I get from Crete to Ios?

Question

My friend and I arrive in Heraklion on June 28th at 8 am and need to get to Ios that day, I looked at Hellenic Seaways website but it says they are full that day. I thought it was a bit weird that they are already fully booked since it has 400+ seats, does anyone know if we were to just show up on the day will we be able to get on the ferry anyway? or otherwise could you suggest an alternative way? Thanks!

Answer 1

You have to keep on checking.  There are cancellations all the time.  Right now they have albeit business class.  Keep checking and I am 99% sure you will get economy seats.  

Unless you flew to Santorini and then ferry to Ios there is no other way.  Anyways,  the hydro from Heraklion is at 09:45 am it means you should hurry from the airport to the port.  

Keep trying and trust me you will find economy seats!

Have fun!  ; )
