• By Sea
Getting to Naxos Island from mainland Greece is simple as there are frequent services from Piraeus and Rafina ports and many other Greek Islands.
Piraeus and Rafina ports are easily accessed from Athens International Airport, thanks to suburban rail and metro (change at Neratziotissa station) to Piraeus and frequent buses to Rafina.
There is also a direct bus link from Athens Airport to Piraeus port (route ×96). Lavrio port is another option, located south east of the airport and the last years are daily departures in Summer to Naxos.
There are 6 to 8 daily sea schedules in total to and from Mainland Greece and journey
time depends on ferry / catamaran type. Getting here with high speed vessels will
take 3.5 to 4 hours, while journey time with a ferry is 5.5 to 6.5 hours.
Naxos is also connected with many Greek Islands. Santorini, Mykonos, Paros, Ios, Crete, Rhodes, Syros,
Patmos, Sikinos, Folegandros, Skiathos, Amorgos, Koufonissia are some of them.
Note: Most of the ferry companies announce their summer ferry schedules in March.
