History

It also sails on routes between Crete (Heraklion - Rethymno) and Central Cyclades (i.e., Santorini, Ios, Naxos, Paros and Mykonos) as well as Northern Greece (Thessaloniki, Sporades), Cyclades and Crete. In total, Seajets sails to 17 islands and offers 140 connections among them.[3] Most of these routes are seasonal, operating between April and October every year.
