Ferries Heraklion Naxos

Want to set off to the islands of Greece? What better choice than Naxos, with its wonderful beaches and the lively, colourful atmosphere of the Cyclades!

You can get there after exploring another Aegean wonder, the ancient Crete! You will find departures to Naxos at Heraklion, the main port and largest town on the Minoan island. On MrFerry you can find the right offer for you and book your Heraklion Naxos ferry now!

→ 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.

You will travel on the Heraklion Naxos route on board the Santorini Palace high-speed ferry. In the large garages you can board with your own vehicle. Remember to select the correct category when booking, the system will check availability and calculate your quote.

The Heraklion Naxos route is shorter than other Aegean islands crossings, so there are no cabins on board, but you can book a reserved seat. You will have to select your preferred type of seat when you process your quote. Once on board, you will be assigned a seat number.

Thanks to the wide range of services available on board, your journey will be pleasant and relaxing. You can choose between two bars to enjoy a drink or a delicious meal with a breathtaking view of the Aegean Sea. The ferry is equipped with Wi-Fi and numerous shops where you can make last-minute purchases or buy a souvenir to take home.

Travel with your pet! You will need to enter your pet at the time of booking and make sure you bring it in a pet carrier or on a leash and muzzle. Before boarding, you must complete the form required by the ferry company for passengers travelling with pets or service animals.
