Ferry from Naxos (Chora) to Mykonos (Tourlos)

The Naxos to Mykonos ferry is one of the most well-travelled hops in the Cyclades, linking two islands that couldn’t feel more different from each other. Naxos is the largest of the group, unhurried and agricultural at its heart; Mykonos is its glittering opposite. The crossing takes between 1 hour 15 minutes and 1 hour 45 minutes, and ferries run from March through to November. If you're heading back to Naxos afterwards, the return Mykonos to Naxos ferry covers the reverse crossing.

Frequency builds significantly as summer approaches. In peak season you can choose from up to 7 departures a day, giving you real flexibility over when you travel. Shoulder months see around 4 sailings daily, while the route opens quietly in March and closes in November with a single daily service at each end of the season.

Hiring a car

Is it worth hiring a car on Mykonos?

Worth it if you plan to reach beaches like Elia or Kalafatis and the far side of the island, since buses run less often outside town. New Port is about 3km from Chora, roughly a 13-minute drive, and Chora itself is pedestrian-only so you park on the edge and walk in. Quad bikes are a popular alternative. Compare rental options at Discover Cars.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tips for the Naxos to Mykonos (Tourlos) 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.
• Third-party booking agents are useful for comparing multiple operators on the same route, but check their cancellation and change policies before paying.
• Night sailings that arrive early morning are popular with budget travellers who save on a night's accommodation – cabins on these routes book out first.
