Kimolos to Naxos Route Map
Hellenic Seaways links Kimolos with Naxos on the Artemis, and the crossing takes around five hours. The ship works its way east across the Cyclades, calling at islands on the way, which accounts for the length. It is a small conventional ferry with deck space and a vehicle deck rather than a fast craft.
Naxos is the largest island in the Cyclades, with real mountains, farmland and long sandy beaches. The Portara, a huge marble doorway from an unfinished Temple of Apollo, stands at the harbour entrance and is unmistakable on arrival. Naxos Town has a Venetian kastro above the port, and inland the villages of Halki and Apiranthos are worth the drive.
Sailings on this route are rare, roughly once a week, so the timetable below is the first thing to check; fares and journey times are shown there, with tickets usually starting around €12.50. Naxos is a major hub, so once there you have frequent links to Piraeus, Paros, Mykonos, Santorini and the Small Cyclades.

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 dock, 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 on Kimolos?
Not really. Kimolos is tiny, only about 900 people live there, and the port at Psathi is just 1km from the main village, Chorio. Most visitors walk or hire a scooter or quad locally for the short hops to beaches like Aliki (3km) or Prassa (6.5km). A car is only worth arranging if you want to bring one over from Milos on the vehicle ferry; compare options at Discover Cars.

Tips for the Kimolos to Naxos ferry
- Noise levels in the lower seating decks of large ferries can be significant – earplugs are useful even if you are not trying to sleep.
- Summer schedules are published by most operators in late March or April; check them as soon as they appear if you are planning a July or August trip.
- Vehicle dimensions and weight affect your ferry fare; double-check the operator's measurement categories if you are driving an unusually large or heavy vehicle.
- Greek ferries do not impose a luggage limit for foot passengers – you can bring as much as you can physically carry, but you must manage it yourself.
- 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.
