Blue Star Ferries run the Blue Star Naxos and Small Cyclades Lines the smaller Express Scopelitis, and times vary widely, from a little over two hours to around five, depending on which boat you take and how many of the Small Cyclades it calls at.

Tips for the Egiali to Naxos ferry
- Children under a certain age travel free on most Greek ferry lines; the exact age threshold varies by operator, so check the terms when booking.
- A window seat in the indoor saloon gives you light and a view without the wind; worth claiming early on a medium-length crossing.
- Sunscreen is mandatory on the exposed deck of a ferry in summer; even a two-hour crossing can result in sunburn if you stand in direct sun.
- 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.
