→ The ferry company Minoan Lines operates the seasonal connection to Naxos. Heraklion Naxos ferries run from June to September every Tuesday and the journey takes 4 hours. The crossing is made by the high-speed catamaran Santorini Palace, where you can board comfortably with your vehicle.
Naxos is an island with ancient and legendary origins and is inextricably linked to the myth of Ariadne and Theseus. It is characterised by enchanting beaches, long stretches of golden sand tinged with soft pink colours at sunset. The sea is crystal clear and thousands of tourists dive into it every year.
⛱️ If you love the sea and want to explore many different beaches, you will be spoilt for choice in Naxos. Near the harbour you will find Agios Georgios, equipped and close to all the amenities you could wish for, such as bars, restaurants, supermarkets, shops and car rentals. Not far from the town you will find Agios Prokopios, where the colour of the water is reminiscent of the Caribbean. If, on the other hand, you are looking for picturesque coves away from the masses, you cannot miss Panormos, surrounded by palm trees and immersed in the barren Cycladic nature.
🏛️When approaching the island, you will admire from the ferry one of the main archaeological attractions of Naxos: Portara, the gateway to a temple dedicated to the god Apollo, the construction of which, unfortunately, was never completed. Around the village of Sangri you can see the authentic rural Greece and the remains of the majestic temple of Demeter, with its elegant proportions typical of Greek architecture.
