Antiparos is a small Cycladic island reached only by sea, as it has no airport of its own. The usual route is the short ferry from Pounta, on the west coast of neighbouring Paros, a crossing of about ten minutes that carries cars as well as foot passengers. In summer, small passenger boats also run … Read more
The Ionian island of Zakynthos is reached by air or by sea. Its airport, named after the poet Dionysios Solomos, lies just south of the capital. It takes charter and scheduled flights from across Europe through the summer, as well as domestic flights from Athens. By sea, ferries cross from the mainland port of Kyllini … Read more
Agios Nikolaos sits on the northeast coast of Zakynthos, in the Volimes area, serving as the main gateway to the sights of the northern coast. This small port should not be confused with the larger town of the same name on Crete. The harbour buzzes with boats heading to the sea caves of the north … Read more
Naxos and Crete answer two different travel wishes. Naxos is a mid-size Cycladic island with long sandy beaches, marble mountain villages and an easy pace you cover in a week. Crete is Greece’s largest island, a near-country with Minoan palaces, deep gorges, two lively cities and a coastline that fills weeks. One rewards slowing down; … Read more
The Naxos to Folegandros ferry links the largest Cycladic island with one of the archipelago’s most dramatic clifftop escapes. This crossing runs mostly by high-speed catamaran through the central Cyclades, often routing via Ios or Sikinos before reaching the small harbour of Karavostasi. The connection concentrates in the warm season, so timing matters for anyone … Read more
Naxos and Milos sit on opposite flanks of the Cyclades, and the ferry between them ties the marble heart of the archipelago to its volcanic west. The crossing runs mostly on high-speed catamarans through the summer months, threading past Ios, Folegandros or Sifnos on many sailings rather than a straight line. This guide covers the … Read more
Naxos sits in the heart of the Cyclades, and the crossing south to Crete is one of the most useful links a summer traveller can plan. A direct high-speed ferry connects Naxos Town with the port of Heraklion, turning two very different islands into a single, workable itinerary. This guide explains the route, the journey … Read more
The Naxos to Amorgos ferry links two Cyclades islands across roughly 40 nautical miles of open Aegean water. Naxos sits at the geographic center of the archipelago, which makes it the natural launch point for the eastern edge of the group. Two very different vessels run this route: the small local Express Skopelitis, threading the … Read more
Naxos sits at the natural gateway to the Small Cyclades, and the crossing to Koufonisia is one of the shortest, most rewarding hops in this corner of the Aegean. The little island chain southeast of Naxos rewards travellers with turquoise water, quiet sand, and a slower rhythm than the bigger names nearby. This guide explains … Read more
Naxos sits at the heart of the Cyclades, and the short hop south to Ios ranks among the easiest island connections in the archipelago. The crossing links a large, self-sufficient island with a compact beach-and-nightlife destination, and both ports lie on the same busy Piraeus-to-Santorini corridor. Departing from Naxos gives you a genuine choice between … Read more
