Sikinos to Naxos Route Map
Hellenic Seaways links Sikinos with Naxos on the Artemis, a small conventional ferry that works the local western Cyclades line. The crossing takes around two and a half hours. It is an unhurried trip on a modest ship, with deck space and a simple bar, and it carries vehicles as well as foot passengers.
Naxos is the largest of the Cyclades, with fertile farmland, real mountains and long sandy beaches. The Portara, a huge freestanding marble doorway left from an unfinished Temple of Apollo, stands at the harbour entrance and is the first thing you see coming in. Naxos Town has a Venetian kastro above the waterfront, and inland the mountain villages of Halki and Apiranthos are an easy day out.
Sailings are sparse, roughly once a week, so this one needs planning around; the current timetable and fares are shown below, with tickets typically starting around seven euros. Naxos is a major hub in its own right, with onward connections to Piraeus, Paros, Mykonos and the Small Cyclades, so it makes a sensible next base.

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.
Do you need to rent a car on Sikinos?
Probably not. Sikinos has just two settlements, the port at Alopronia and Chora 3.5km uphill, linked by an hourly bus. Only two small rental outfits operate on the island, with stock limited in August, so most visitors get by on foot and the bus. If you want the freedom, check Discover Cars.

Tips for the Sikinos to Naxos ferry
- July and August are the busiest months on almost every Greek ferry route; expect crowded vessels, longer boarding queues, and higher prices.
- If you booked through a third-party agent, you may still need to collect a physical ticket at the port – check your booking confirmation carefully.
- Gather your belongings and move towards the appropriate exit before the vessel docks rather than scrambling at the last minute.
- 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.
