To western Crete
About ANEK Lines
Long-established ferry line with overnight sailings from Piraeus to Chania in western Crete, plus other island routes. Piraeus is the port of Athens and one of the busiest passenger ports in Europe, where ferries leave for the islands, and its seafront at Mikrolimano and Kastella is lined with fish restaurants. Buy ferry tickets ahead online in summer and arrive at the port at least an hour before departure; Piraeus is big, so check which gate your ship leaves from.
Timetables, fares and services change, so please check with ANEK Lines before you travel.
