Arriving at Naxos; selecting the best route for you
First of all, you have to find the best means of transport for your arrival at Naxos.
• By plane: Conveniently enough, the island hosts a national airport with many flights arriving from the capital of Athens. More than ten flights per week are departing from Athens to Naxos during the high season, with a duration of only 40-45 minutes, and priced at about 110-200€ per person. The plane is the ideal option if you do not wish to spend a lot of time traveling to Naxos and would rather begin your adventure as soon as possible.
• By ferry: If you prefer enjoying the trip just as much as the destination, booking ferry tickets is a fun option for enjoying the Aegean breeze and taking memorable photos.
There are daily ferry routes from the port of Piraeus in Athens to Naxos, with an average duration of 5 hours. Some of the operating ferry vessels offer passenger cabins and vehicle garages for an extra charge.

Car Rental; booking a vehicle for your Naxos exploration
Renting a car or motorcycle is usually the go-to option for first-timers on a holiday destination and a convenient investment for returning travelers. It is not fun wasting time while attempting to suit your whole itinerary within the local transportation options (if there are any in the first place) and timetable.
Especially when it comes to Naxos, a car rental is strongly recommended if you plan to make the most out of your time on the island. The local bus routes do not cover the mountain roads efficiently and are not that frequent throughout the day either. A car allows you to explore the fascinating Naxian mainland at your own pace and privacy while significantly diminishing the trip duration.
Book your car rental with us and enjoy your holiday in Naxos to the fullest.
