The Piraeus to Naxos ferry is one of the Cyclades’ most well-travelled connections, linking the bustle of Greece’s main port to the largest and most varied island in the archipelago. Whether you’re heading there for the beaches, the mountain villages, or simply as a base for island-hopping further afield, the sea crossing is a straightforward and rewarding start to your journey. Our Piraeus ferry terminal guide is worth a read before you travel, since the port is large and gate assignments vary by operator.
The route runs throughout the year, with around 5 ferries per day on average across all seasons. Summer is when it comes into its own: during June–August the schedule ramps up to 8 departures a day, while winter quietens to roughly 2 per day.
