The Naxos to Andros ferry route is one of the quieter Cyclades crossings, linking the largest island in the group with the northernmost, and the contrast between the two makes the journey worth making. Naxos is broad and mountainous, built for lingering; Andros is aristocratic and understated, a world apart from the busier tourist circuits. Getting between them by ferry is the natural way to travel.
Ferries run daily throughout the season, from April to October. Outside those months, there is no service, so timing your trip matters. During the season you can count on around one departure per day.

Tips for the Naxos–Andros Ferry
- Expect a short walk into town – Naxos port sits right at the edge of Chora, with shops, cafés and the Portara landmark only a few minutes away, so you will not need a taxi if your accommodation is central.
- Arrive at least 45 minutes before departure and confirm your departure gate on the day, since Naxos is one of the busiest Cycladic ports, with several operators and vessels often docked at once.
- If you are catching the Express Skopelitis local ferry to the Small Cyclades, it usually berths away from the main quay used by Blue Star and the high-speed ferries, so check where it is tied up when you arrive.
- Group discounts are available on some operators for parties of six or more – contact the operator directly if you cannot see a group rate online.
- In Andros, the elegant capital Chora rewards exploration with its cobbled lanes, neoclassical mansions, and a proud tradition of seafaring culture. Don't miss the impressive Foros Cave near Aladinos Village, reached via a beautiful 17th-century arched bridge.

Do you need a car in Andros?
Practically, yes. The ferry lands at Gavrio in the northwest, while the capital Chora sits around 32km away on the opposite coast, too far for casual bus-hopping between villages. Rental offices operate near the port, and supply tightens in August, so book ahead. Compare suppliers at Discover Cars.
Is it worth hiring a car on Naxos?
Yes, it is worth it. Naxos is the largest Cycladic island, and its best beaches and mountain villages, Apollonas, Halki, the Tragaea, are 30 to 45 minutes' drive from Naxos Town. Rental desks sit right at the ferry quay, a one-minute walk from the bus terminal. Buses cover the main coast road, but a car gets you into the interior. Compare local suppliers at Discover Cars.
