Ferry from Andros (Gavrio) to Naxos (Chora)

The Andros to Naxos ferry is a straightforward island hop that links two of the Cyclades’ most rewarding destinations. Sailing season runs from April through to October, after which the route closes for winter — so if you are planning a trip, make sure you are travelling within that window. Our Andros ferry port guide covers arriving at Gavrio ahead of your crossing.

In the height of summer you can count on around 2 ferries per day, giving you decent flexibility for timing your crossing. Shoulder months — April, May, September and October — see around 1 departure per day, so it is worth planning ahead and booking once you know your dates.

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.

Do you need a car in Andros?

Practically, yes. The ferry lands at Gavrio in the northwest, while the capital Chora sits around 32km away on the opposite coast, too far for casual bus-hopping between villages. Rental offices operate near the port, and supply tightens in August, so book ahead. Compare suppliers at Discover Cars.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tips for the Gavrio, Andros to Naxos ferry

• Gavrio port is not Andros Town – Chora lies around 32km away on the opposite coast, roughly a 50-minute drive. If you're heading there, check KTEL bus times or arrange a taxi rather than assuming a short hop.
• A KTEL Andros bus meets arriving ferries at Gavrio and runs on to Batsi, Chora and Korthi, but departures from the port can run about 15 minutes late whenever the ferry itself is delayed.
• If you are travelling with a car, check in at Gavrio at least an hour before your sailing – vehicle queues build well before departure, and boarding for cars closes earlier than for foot passengers.
• If you need to change your ticket, it is usually cheaper to do so online than at the port ticket office, where a handling fee may apply.
• 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.
