GETTING THERE
OFF THE BEATEN TRACK
FLIGHTS
Naxos has its own small airport which is only served directly by a couple of flights per day to and from Athens, with a flight time of around 40 minutes. So if you want to fly in you have the opportunity of a two-centre break to also explore our wonderful capital city with its Acropolis and other delights. Naxos airport is very close to the main town of Chora and easy for transfers, buses or taxis.
FERRIES
Ferries also run from Athens, are a cheaper option than flying and also show you some of the beauty of the Agean and its islands. Ferries also run from other nearby islands with airports, the best served being Santorini and Mykonos which have a lot of international direct flights within Europe.
Ferry times:
Athens to Naxos can take anything from 3 hours 20 minutes to 6 hours depending on which line you take.
Santorini to Naxos is around 1 hour 20 minutes by fast ferry or 2 hours and 45 minutes by conventional carriers.
Mykonos to Naxos can be as quick as 35 minutes or take up to 1 hour 45 minutes.
