Santorini to Naxos – Ferry Essentials
- FerryHopper.com is the most effective way to procure ferry tickets for Santorini to Naxos ferries. It’s also helpful for researching ferry timetables, costs, and itineraries.
- Advanced booking for ferry tickets 2 to 3 months in advance is recommended but usually not required.
- Most tickets (when booked through FerryHopper) do not need to be collected in advance as paper tickets, being e-tickets instead.
- If an online ticket purchase lacks a barcode, which typically signifies pickup is needed upon arrival in Greece. Most often this entails collecting a real ticket at the ferry port 30 to 45 minutes before departure. Don`t be concerned about retrieval – it`s simple and hassle-free and commonly in close proximity to your ferry.
- Ferries will leave from their primary morning departure harbor (normally sizable ports like Piraeus, Heraklio, and Rhodes) on schedule but will be delayed arriving and departing from all subsequent ports (e.g. Naxos). Usually becoming later as the day progresses.
- Most areas in Greece, like Santorini and Naxos, experience public transportation stoppages throughout the year. These stoppages can impact all forms of transit, including buses, trains, ferries, flights, and taxis. During stoppages no buses, no ferries, and only a small number of trains and flights will depart on time (or at all); taxis tend to be the least impacted mode of transportation. Though stoppages can take place anytime, there is always an enormous stoppage on May 1. Avoid booking any ferries, flights, or trains on that day.
Santorini to Naxos Ferry Schedule
Santorini and Naxos are two of the commonly visited islands of the Cyclades group in Greece, with many daily ferries between the two during the busy summer months. There are more frequent ferries in July and August than in May, June, and September, and October. Ferries depart from the Athinios Port in Santorini from early morning until mid-afternoon, with the latest ferry leaving Santorini at about 5:30pm. The duration of the ride is approximately an hour and a half, but can vary depending on the boat selected. Larger, more stable Blue Star ferries are generally slower, usually taking about 2 hours for the journey. Smaller high-speed catamarans can make the trip in half that time. Ticket costs range from about €30 to €80.
