Public transfers: No public transport approaches the area; however, if you use the bus that heads to Moutsouna, you can ask the driver to stop at Atsachas - the spot where you can reach Azalas if you take the dirt road on the left. There’s a sign lying there, too. From there, you will need around 15 minutes to arrive at the beach. The central bus station of the island is located at the port of Naxos. There are buses from Chora to Moutsouna during the day. Consider that time schedules might change according to the season. Check the official timetables here.
From Naxos airport to Azalas: Note that there is no bus station at the airport and the best option is to book a car or a transfer. If you still want to use the public bus, after exiting the airport buildings, follow the road to the left. The closest bus stop (Naxos Camp) is located 700 meters away. From Naxos Camp, visitors can take the bus route Plaka - Agia Anna > Chora (approximately every 30 minutes during summer) to Naxos central station. From there, visitors should board a bus. Line 2 heads to Moutsouna. 
From Naxos port to Plaka: The bus station is located at the port of Naxos. From there, visitors who have arrived by ferry should take a bus. Line 2 heads to Moutsouna. 
Tip: Since buses don’t always stop at every scheduled stop of their itinerary, our advice to visitors is to inform the driver about their final destination in advance.
