How to get to Naxos?

Naxos is well connected by ferry to the port of Piraeus (3–7 hours), Rafina (4–6 hours), and Lavrio (3 hours 50 minutes). The island can also be reached from many Cyclades: Paros (30 minutes), Tinos (1 hour), Santorini (1 hour 15 minutes), and the smaller eastern Cyclades. Connections also exist to more distant islands such as Crete (3 hours).

The main ferry companies are Blue Star Ferries, Hellenic Seaways, Sea Jets, and Aegean Speed Lines. For booking, refer to directferries.com.

Naxos has a domestic airport with flights from Athens (45 minutes via Olympic Air or Aegean Airlines). In summer, seasonal connections may serve some European destinations. Alternatively, fly to nearby Mykonos, Paros, or Santorini (all with European connections) and continue by ferry. For flight booking, visit skyscanner.com.

Connections, both by sea and air, are much more frequent during the summer season; always check availability if travelling in other periods.
