Mykonos → Naxos
Five sailings a day connect Mykonos and Naxos in high season, though the route does not run in winter, so check the schedule first. The fast SeaJets crossing takes 45 minutes; the conventional Blue Star Ferries option 1h40m. Wind risk is high, the top rating on the network, since both ports sit exposed to the meltemi, and this short hop is one of the first cancelled in strong summer winds. Leave a spare day if this connection is critical.
Wind & disruption risk: High · 44 km (24 nautical miles)
Ferry options
At the port
Ferries leave Mykonos's New Port at Tourlos, 3km from Chora, and dock right in Naxos Town, with no port transfer needed on arrival. Arrive 40 minutes ahead for the fast SeaJets catamaran; the Blue Star Ferries conventional service is slower but the more reliable choice for carrying a car. Given the high wind exposure, checking the forecast the morning of travel is worth the five minutes it takes.
