The Mykonos to Naxos ferry is one of the most popular short crossings in the Cyclades, linking the party capital of the Greek islands with the largest and arguably most rewarding island in the group. At just 1 hour 25 minutes, it is an easy hop across the Aegean — short enough to do on a whim, short enough that you will barely have settled into your seat before Naxos Town materialises on the horizon. Ferries run from March through to November, making the route accessible for early and late-season travellers as well as peak-summer crowds.
In the height of summer you can choose from up to 9 departures a day, giving you real flexibility over when you travel. The shoulder months of April and October still offer a reasonable handful of sailings — typically 3 to 6 per day — while March and November operate with a single daily service. Whatever time of year you go, it is worth booking ahead: this route fills quickly in July and August.

Tips for the Mykonos–Naxos Ferry
- Luggage trolleys are available at Piraeus and a few larger island ports; at smaller ports you carry your own bags from the car park to the gangway.
- At smaller island ports, the quay surface can be cobblestone, wooden planking, or rough concrete – wheeled bags take a beating and can tip on uneven ground.
- Once you arrive in Naxos, the largest of the Cyclades, the giant marble Portara gateway standing on a small islet at the entrance to the harbour is an unmissable landmark. The island offers the full range of Greek island experiences: long sandy beaches, mountain villages, ancient ruins, and a fertile interior producing excellent local cheeses and wines.
