The last known sailing on this route was on 11 October 2026. No timetable beyond that date has been published yet.

These are the sailings we recorded on this route from October 2025 to September 2026. They show what ran then, not a forecast: timetables change from year to year.

Rafina to Naxos is one of the busiest Cyclades routes out of Attica, worked by Fast Ferries, Golden Star Ferries and Seajets between them. The conventional ships, the Ekaterini P, Superferry and Superexpress, take around five to five and a half hours with calls at Andros, Tinos and Mykonos on the way. The Superrunner Jet cuts that to roughly three and a half hours, though it costs more and rides less comfortably in a meltemi.

Naxos is the largest of the Cyclades, and arriving ferries pass the Portara, the freestanding marble doorway on the islet at the harbour mouth, before docking beside the Chora. The town has a Venetian kastro above a working waterfront, and the island beyond splits between long sandy beaches on the west coast and mountain villages such as Halki and Apiranthos inland. It is a good island for people who want beach time and something to do besides.

There are usually three or four departures a day through the summer, dropping back but not disappearing out of season. Current sailings, durations and fares are shown below. Rafina is well linked to Athens airport by bus, which makes it a practical first-day port, and Naxos itself is the hub for the Small Cyclades.
