Here's a step-by-step guide:
By Air From Athens to Naxos
Domestic Flight: Olympic Air and Sky Express operate flights from Athens to Naxos Airport (JNX). The flight duration is approximately 40 minutes. However, these flights can be limited, especially during the off-peak season, so it's advisable to book in advance.
By Sea Ferry to Naxos
From Piraeus Port:
Multiple ferry operators, such as Blue Star Ferries and Hellenic Seaways, offer daily trips. The journey takes about 6 hours on a conventional ferry and around 4.5 hours on a high-speed ferry. From Rafina Port:
Ferries from Rafina to Naxos are available, typically operated by companies like Golden Star Ferries. The duration is similar to ferries from Piraeus, with both conventional and high-speed options.
Alternative Route
Via Another Island:
You can also reach Naxos by flying or taking a ferry to another Cycladic island such as Mykonos or Santorini, and then taking a ferry to Naxos. This can be a good option if direct connections from your location to Athens are inconvenient.
