Naxos to Mykonos Ferry

Naxos to Mykonos Ferry

The Naxos to Mykonos ferry is one of the most well-travelled hops in the Cyclades, linking two islands that couldn’t feel more different from each other. Naxos is the largest of the group, unhurried and agricultural at its heart; Mykonos is its glittering opposite. The crossing takes between 1 hour 15 minutes and 1 hour 45 minutes, and ferries run from March through to November. If you're heading back to Naxos afterwards, the return Mykonos to Naxos ferry covers the reverse crossing.

Frequency builds significantly as summer approaches. In peak season you can choose from up to 7 departures a day, giving you real flexibility over when you travel. Shoulder months see around 4 sailings daily, while the route opens quietly in March and closes in November with a single daily service at each end of the season.

Tips for the Naxos–Mykonos 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.
• Third-party booking agents are useful for comparing multiple operators on the same route, but check their cancellation and change policies before paying.
• In Mykonos, the iconic windmills overlooking Little Venice and the maze of whitewashed lanes in Chora are as recognisable as any image in the Greek islands. The island is equally famous for its beach clubs and vibrant nightlife, with Paradise Beach among the liveliest spots on the Aegean.

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.
