The port of Elounda is one of the fashionable ports in Greece. Near the port is the Vulizmeni Lagoon. They are connected to each other by a canal, which is a pier for various ships. A little further from the coast is the village of Elounda of the same name, where local residents earn money either from fishing or from the tourism business. The village has a huge number of five-star comfortable hotels.
Hundreds of vessels depart from the port of Elounda every day: ships, small boats, boats, pleasure boats. Here you will find sea excursions along the coastal zone, paid fishing far from the shore, as well as sports jet skis. There are also several diving centers in the port. For a nominal fee, you can dive underwater and see the underwater world with your own eyes.
In addition, Elounda has many cafes, bars and restaurants. In the evenings, the establishments host incendiary parties with the participation of local artists.
Venetian port
The Venetian port at the head is one of the main attractions of the city of Chania. There is a beautiful view from the fortress. Stone structures convey a sense of antiquity and rich history. There are boats rocking at the pier: new, old, and shabby. Evening walks here, when a light wind blows from the sea and the city glows with many lights, are very popular with tourists.
Artists and poets also come here, seeking inspiration from the little colorful houses. There are several picturesque hotels and cozy restaurants nearby.

Also, all necessary services are available.
Port of Heraklion
Heraklion is the capital and the so-called gate of Crete, the main city and the largest port on the entire island. It is the piers of Heraklion that welcome tourists from all over the world. It is the most important transport hub in Europe, connecting Asia, Africa and Europe.
The city historically grew from an ancient harbor that was the center of the Minoan civilization. Today Heraklion is the fifth largest city in Greece, which is a huge metropolis with its own airport, seaport, largest museums and main universities.
The port plays a huge role for the city and all of Greece. This is the most important cargo and tourist transport hub, which receives hundreds of ships and vessels every day.

And against the backdrop of all this, huge tourist liners froze motionless.

Sights of Crete
Let's go from Heraklion to Santorini. We'll park at the port (is there parking there?), then where? Help me figure out where to go. Where can I get booked tickets and board the required transport? What language are the signs and announcements in the port?
There is a large parking lot there. I won’t tell you how much it costs - we didn’t park.
Do you read in English?

Where to pick up your tickets depends on where and how you booked them. During the booking process, you should have access to information about where and when you can pick them up. Select "at the port". If this option is not available, write to the office by e-mail and ask that your tickets be at the company’s representative office in the port on the day of travel.
The "sea terminal" building is located under the number "7" This is from the entrance to the port to the right. High-speed catamarans, ironically, depart from almost the other end of the port. There are no numbers on the plan... But you definitely won’t be able to miss the catamaran :).
If the tickets are not for a catamaran, but a large ferry, then look at the name (should be on the tickets). No one announces anything at the port and there are no “last calls”. The ferry has arrived - you are about to board.
I understand that everything doesn’t sound very optimistic, but, in fact, everything is clear there - don’t get lost. The main thing is to arrive a little earlier :).
I personally lost the fry there until I got to the cat... At first I took a wrong turn, asked a local where the boat was in Santorini, he waved his hand and I went there...
I handed over the car at the port, I saw the parking...
I think you’ll figure it out on the spot, just arrive early... I arrived about an hour before departure.
Please note that it is better to pick up in advance:
We came to pick it up at the station itself at the indicated counter. The young Greek quickly understood the situation and sent from himself (the agency counter) to the shipping company counter. After standing in line for three people, they presented their papers. They were examined and sent back to the young man. Actually, about forty meters. He saw us, nodded, tapped something on the keyboard and sent us there. Returning to the steamship counter, we realized that correspondence was already in full swing. They waved at us to wait. They chatted for ten minutes, then grabbed their phones. My wife is impressionable, so it started: they lost our ticket and they won’t take us on the ferry. Result: the young man pressed himself against the steamship counter in person, but she was defended by a forty-year-old woman with a strong chin, and, after another three minutes and menacing glances, maturity won. A young man gave us a ticket, but we were already rushing to the ferry, since it was not possible to convince the over-excited woman that ten minutes would be enough to waddle even leg by leg.
Thank you. I felt a little better after your stories. I need to go look at pictures of these catamarans. How can I tell which one is mine? Are there numbers or names of the destination?
Here's what we have about tickets:
Departure f with H.Seaways at 09h45 from Heraklion and arrival in Santorini at 11h50
Departure from JTR at 17h55 and arrival in Heraklion at 19h30 - Hellenic Seaways
Is it a cat or a ferry?
NVO, you have specified the type of transport in your ticket reservation. On our reservation at the same time as yours, it says FLYINGCAT4. You can get tickets 1 day before departure at the office (5 August 25th Street), or on the day of departure (1 hour before) at a booth in the port.
We are sailing to Santorini on June 15th, we will go to the office for tickets on June 14th.
On June 13, the office is open until 14-00. (holiday)
I booked and paid for a round-trip ticket to Athens for 18.06.
Where can I pick them up at the port? At the seaport? Minoan Lines company, I know what the ship looks like, I don’t know where exactly to pick up tickets. Can I pick up my tickets a day earlier? I wrote to them via email, so far there is silence.
Hey everyone!!! Interested in sending from the site http://paleologos.forth-crs.gr/ Heraklion-Santorini. Maybe someone made a reservation? Tell me how best to get tickets after booking... Because... the price is not cheap.. I don’t really want to “fly over” due to ignorance)) And where do the “Cats” depart from the port of Heraklion? Is there a map? Maybe you can recommend an inexpensive hotel by the sea for one night.
Thank you in advance!
Privchik(Olya), Have you read the topic???

The cat departs from the pier almost opposite the bus stop (No. 9 on the map).
In this photo you can see the cat in the distance, standing parallel to the embankment and the pier.
