Ferry boats on the South coast of Crete |
|
The south coast of western Crete is very rugged and
doesn't have a coastal road. Whilst this has probably helped to keep
tourist developments low key, it makes moving from village to village
rather difficult and this is why there is a ferry service between
the vilages of Paleochora, Sougia, Agia Roumeli, Loutro and Hora
Sfakion as well as to the island of Gavdos.
In the winter months the service is kept to a minimum and may stop for a week
or more if the weather is bad and the sea stormy. In the months of April to October
it aims at being regular, sea conditions permitting.
Ferry time-table and prices 2009
Note that the time-table can change quite suddenly and frequently (I once received two time-table updates in a single day from the ferry company!) and the one posted below may not be up-to-date.
The ferry company now has their own web site which should be updated when the time--table changes so go and check there
