About Maistros Santorini
Maistros Santorini is a Greek ferry company that links Santorini with four islands nearby: Anafi to the east, and Ios, Sikinos and Folegandros to the west. It runs passenger boats only, which makes it the line for a light-luggage hop between neighbouring islands rather than for a car or an overnight passage.
The boats
The company sails two open-deck passenger boats, the Santorini and the Maistros, each for up to 200 passengers. There are no cabins, and neither boat carries cars or motorbikes.
