Tips for the Naxos–Anafi Ferry
- Expect a short walk into town – Naxos port sits right at the edge of Chora, with shops, cafés and the Portara landmark only a few minutes away, so you will not need a taxi if your accommodation is central.
- Arrive at least 45 minutes before departure and confirm your departure gate on the day, since Naxos is one of the busiest Cycladic ports, with several operators and vessels often docked at once.
- If you are catching the Express Skopelitis local ferry to the Small Cyclades, it usually berths away from the main quay used by Blue Star and the high-speed ferries, so check where it is tied up when you arrive.
- If you are travelling in winter, a compact rain jacket and a warm mid-layer are essential – the on-deck temperature can drop significantly on overnight crossings.
- Once you arrive in Anafi, you can explore the amphitheatrically built Chora, which sits on the ruins of an ancient settlement. A highlight is the hike to the Monastery of Panagia Kalamiotissa, perched on the eastern side of the island with sweeping Aegean views.
