The Greek island of Naxos is the biggest in the Cyclades, and has excellent ferry connections to most of the Greek islands nearby.

Day Trip From Naxos To Mykonos By Ferry

Note: It might just about be possible to put together a Naxos to Mykonos day trip, although in my opinion it wouldn't leave you much time to do any sightseeing in Mykonos.

You'd need to take the first ferry leaving Naxos to Mykonos (about 09.00 in the morning), and then get the last ferry back from Mykonos to Naxos (about 17.50 in the evening).

Still, if you're determined to give it a go, take a look at my one day Mykonos itinerary and see what you think you can squeeze in.

As a result, most people that take the Naxos to Mykonos ferry will want to stay at least a couple of nights in Mykonos.

It also means you don't need to take the 09.00 Naxos Mykonos ferry if you don't want to. I know I prefer not to travel that early if I'm on vacation!

A few travel tips for visiting the island of Mykonos:
  • Ferry services leave from the port in Naxos Town (Chora) in Naxos. Arriving ferries dock at New Tourlos port, a few kilometres from Mykonos Town in Mykonos. Check out my complete Mykonos travel guide to help plan your time in Mykonos.

  • For rooms to rent in Mykonos, take a look at Booking. They have a great choice of accommodation in Mykonos, and areas to consider staying include Psarou, Agios Stefanos, Agios Ioannis, Platis Gialos, Megali Ammos, Ornos, and Mykonos Town. I've previously stayed in the Ornos area of Mykonos.

  • Beach lovers recommend these beaches in Mykonos: Agios Sostis, Platis Gialos, Super Paradise, Lia, Paradise, Agrari, and Kalafatis. Check out my full guide here: Best beaches in Mykonos.

  • I find that the Ferryscanner website is the best place to book ferry tickets online. I think it's better that you book your Naxos to Mykonos ferry tickets in advance, especially during the busiest months for travel.
