Naxos to Koufonissi Route Map
The Naxos to Koufonisi ferry is a short hop across the Aegean that takes you from one of the Cyclades’ largest islands to one of its smallest and most beguiling. The crossing runs year-round, though in winter you will find a reduced timetable, so planning ahead pays off.
On average, three ferries a day make this crossing throughout the year. In the height of summer (June–August) frequency climbs to four sailings daily, giving you real flexibility. Come winter, expect around one departure per day – and note that January, November, and December see no scheduled service at all.

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.

Tips for the Naxos to Koufonissi 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 joining a longer island-hopping route and not returning to the same base, travel with everything you need from the start – you cannot go back for forgotten items.
- Winds above Force 8 will cancel almost all Greek ferry services; in summer these conditions are very unusual but not impossible, especially with deep Mediterranean lows.
