  • Ferry services depart from the port in Naxos Town (Chora) in Naxos. Aim to be at the ferry port at least a half hour before departure if you already have an e ticket. If you are buying a ticket for the Naxos to Sifnos route at the port, get there an hour before the crossing leaves.

  • For hotels in Sifnos, I suggest looking at Booking. They have a great range of apartments in Sifnos and areas to consider staying include Platis Gialos, Apollonia, and Kamares.

  • Ferryscanner is perhaps the easiest site to use when it comes to booking Ferry tickets online. Although I recommend you book your Naxos to Sifnos ferry tickets in advance, especially during the busy summer months.
