Minoan Lines would like to inform its passengers that, due to the adverse weather conditions prevailing in the Aegean Sea, and in accordance with No. 409 on Gale Warnings issued earlier by the Hellenic National Meteorological Service (HNMS), a sailing ban is currently in effect. As a result, today’s scheduled departures of the vessels will not take place as planned.

The sailings will operate according to the following revised schedule:

  • PIRAEUS – MILOS – HERAKLION, H/S/F KNOSSOS PALACE
    • The departure from Piraeus will be scheduled depending on when the sailing prohibition is lifted.
  • HERAKLION – MILOS – PIRAEUS, H/S/F FESTOS PALACE
    • The departure from Heraklion will be scheduled depending on when the sailing prohibition is lifted.
