Anyone know directions from the resort via bus to ferry terminal and cost/travel time to Athens.....? I am aware that there is a 'slow' and 'fast' ferry to the mainland.

Going to the match? If so, you can book the overnight ferry service to Piraeus, here. (The 2030 ferry arrives at 0500. The 2100 service gets in at 0520. The return fare will depend upon the accommodation selected but you can do it for under �40):

(Heraklion harbour is within walking distance of the town's bus station, so you shouldn't have any problems getting there).

Metro Line 1 (green on the map, also known as 'ISAP') links Piraeus harbour directly to Irini, which is the station which serves the Olympic Stadium:

ferry operated by minoan lines, http://www.minoan.gr/index.asp?a_id=226
fares http://www.minoan.gr/index.asp?a_id=615

the "fast" ferry is the daytime sailing, dep 11h00 & journey 6.5 hours. it next sails on June 13, then weds & sats only, plus fris in July and fris & suns in august. night ferry sails daily, dep 21h00 and arr 06h00 the next morning. The ferry docks at Piraeus, which is a 30mn metro ride from Athens. most of the ferry companies recommend allowing plenty of time at Piraeus as the port is very large.
sorry chris, cross post...
