Sifnos to Naxos Route Map
Sifnos to Naxos is a Seajets high-speed run on the Superjet or Super Jet 2, taking a little over three hours. The boats cross east from the western Cyclades into the central group, usually calling at Paros or Mykonos along the way, which is what stretches the timing beyond the straight-line distance.
Naxos is the largest island in the Cyclades, and its port sits at the edge of Naxos Town, the Chora. The Portara, a huge freestanding marble doorway from an unfinished Temple of Apollo, stands on the islet by the harbour entrance and is the first thing you see coming in. Behind the waterfront lie the Venetian Kastro quarter and, further out, long sandy beaches at Plaka and Mikri Vigla and mountain villages such as Halki and Apiranthos.
The service runs roughly daily during the high season and stops entirely outside it. Current sailings and fares are in the table below. Naxos is a major hub with connections to the Small Cyclades, Paros, Mykonos and Santorini, so it is a sensible place to break a longer island-hopping trip.

Hiring a car
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.
Can you rent a car in Sifnos?
Yes, and it's worth having one. The ferry lands at Kamares, and the drive up the winding valley road to the capital, Apollonia, takes about ten minutes; most rental firms have desks at the port to match ferry arrivals. Sifnos's road network is compact and easy to navigate, so a car gets you around the hilltop villages and beaches without waiting on buses. Compare local suppliers at Discover Cars.

Tips for the Sifnos to Naxos ferry
- Children's fares typically apply up to a certain age; above that they are charged the adult rate – enter accurate dates of birth when booking.
- On longer crossings, locate the indoor seating areas first in case weather or wind forces you inside partway through the journey.
- Gangways on older vessels can be steep and narrow – wheeled suitcases are harder to manage than backpacks on these boarding ramps.
- The meltemi blows from the north-north-west; routes that run east–west are more exposed than those running north–south along a chain of islands.
- 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.
