When travelling to Cyclades Islands, there are a few things to bear in mind:
Although it’s sometimes possible to buy tickets at the port on the day of travel, we recommend booking your sailing in advance. Ferry crossings can fill up quickly, especially during peak summer periods or on weekends.
Booking your ferry tickets to Mykonos ahead of time allows you to secure your preferred sailing and often save money, as prices tend to be lower the earlier you book. If you’re travelling with a vehicle, it’s especially important to reserve in advance to guarantee a space on board.
How early you need to arrive at the ferry port depends on the ferry company you’re travelling with, so it’s always best to check with your ferry operator in advance. The latest check-in time for your Naxos to Mykonos ferry booking will often be included in your booking confirmation email.
Check-in times can vary depending on whether you’re travelling as a foot passenger or with a vehicle, with those travelling with cars, campervans or caravans usually required to arrive earlier. Either way, we’d recommend allowing plenty of time for check-in especially during peak season.
To book your ferry tickets, simply enter your departure and arrival ports along with your preferred travel date to see all available options and prices. You’ll also be able to view alternative routes and times, so you can find the best deal to suit you.
Look out for early booking discounts or special ticket options such as upgrades or flexi-tickets that allow you to change or cancel your booking. To make your sailing as smooth as possible, make sure you enter all the required information correctly, such as the number of passengers and vehicle specifications.
Once you’ve finalised your booking, you’ll receive a confirmation email. It depends on the ferry operator you book with as to how your boarding pass is issued and collected.
Whilst some ferry operators issue the boarding pass as soon as your booking is confirmed, others may ask you to check in at the port. There’s also the option for online check-in, which can be done easily via the Direct Ferries app, if available.
The ticket desks are usually located near the ferry terminals. To avoid any delays at the port, we’d recommend allowing some extra time to collect your tickets and to check-in.
During check-in, you’ll need to show your email confirmation along with an official photo ID, such as a passport or identity card. If you booked your ticket with a resident discount, proof of residence may also be required. If you’re travelling with a pet, you may also be asked to provide documentation showing their vaccinations and insurance.
There could be various reasons why there are no departures from Naxos to Mykonos for the date you’ve requested. Possible reasons include:
If your preferred sailing isn’t available, then we’d recommend checking other dates or looking for overnight crossings as these can sometimes be quieter. We’d also recommend looking at alternative departure or arrival ports.
The best time to book ferries from Naxos to Mykonos is usually as early as possible. By booking in advance, you’ll not only get your tickets at the best available prices, but you’ll also get a better choice of departure times and cabin/seating options.
This is particularly important during peak season, when demand is high and popular routes can sell out quickly. Even in the off-season, booking ahead can help you save money.
