The Syros to Iraklia ferry route gives you access to one of the Small Cyclades, a cluster of quiet islands that sit in the shadow of their more famous neighbours. Ferries run from February through to June, which suits travellers looking to reach Iraklia outside the peak summer crowds.
Frequency is limited at around 1 ferry per day, so it pays to plan ahead rather than assuming you can hop on and off whenever you like.

Tips for the Syros–Iraklia Ferry
- The ferry quay sits right in Ermoupoli town centre, close to hotels, cafés and the bus station, so you can walk to most accommodation. In peak summer, arrive at least an hour early, or 60–90 minutes if you're bringing a car.
- There's no single ferry ticket office at the port – tickets are issued by several independent travel agencies clustered near the harbour, so check your booking confirmation for pickup details rather than expecting one terminal counter.
- A taxi rank is around 100 metres from the quay, but ranks empty fast in August, so pre-book a taxi or arrange a hotel transfer in advance rather than relying on hailing one on arrival.
- If you are prone to seasickness and see a Force 5–6 forecast, take preventive medication the night before as well as on the morning of travel.
- Once you arrive in Iraklia, one of the Small Cyclades near Naxos, the long sandy beach of Livadi on the eastern side of the island is the main draw. The island is ideal for low-key holidays, with the port-side beach of Agios Georgios offering easy access from the ferry landing.
