Route

Donoussa to Naxos

2 operators run this water, from 1 h 10 to 3 h 40 — a difference of 2 h 30 on the same crossing. Naxos has an airport 3 km from the quay, so this is a crossing you can make one way and fly the other.

Every way across

One row per operator and speed. Where a service is sold as fast and its average does not clear 45 km/h, the word appears in quotation marks — the boat is fast craft, the crossing is not.

Blue Star Ferries Donoussa → Naxos 37 km fast crossing 1 h 10 "fast" rate not held 32 km/h average
Small Cyclades Lines Donoussa → Naxos 37 km conventional crossing 3 h 40 rate not held 10 km/h average

Other ways to reach Naxos

Which months this runs

Season not heldwe can say when we looked, not which months run

Our records for the Donoussa–Naxos crossing were read on 11 August 2026 and describe the network as it ran that week. We hold no month-by-month variation, so this page cannot tell you whether a crossing runs in February.

If you are travelling well outside August 2026, confirm with the operator before you plan around it.

What we do not know

No fares. The choice between Blue Star Ferries at 1 h 10 and Small Cyclades Lines at 3 h 40 is mostly a price decision, and we hold no prices for either.

No departure times. No rate is held for this pair either, so we cannot say how often it runs.
