The most popular and affordable option is the standard/economy seat. Seeing as they are not numbered, your ticket does not correspond to a specific seat, so we recommend boarding the ferry as soon as possible in order to get a comfortable one. Moreover, you will need to keep an eye on your seat for the entire duration of the journey.
Another option is the airplane seats, which are located in a separate lounge. They are more comfortable and they are the most affordable option among the seats you can book just for you.
For luxury travel, there are also Business/VIP seats, which are situated in a separate lounge and are more expensive.
In high-speed ferries, there are only numbered seats, so a standard ticket corresponds to an airplane seat.

The port of Naxos, in Chora

All ferries from Naxos to Mykonos depart from the port of Naxos, which is located in Chora, the capital town of the island. As it is small in size, spotting your ferry is very easy.

Ferries bound for Mykonos arrive at Tourlos port, the main port of the island, which is located only 3 km from Mykonos Town.

Both islands are highly popular among both Greeks and foreigners. The high number of visitors causes traffic within and around the port, so being there at least 1 hour before the official departure time is strongly recommended.

Most companies allow 40 kg or 0.5 cubic meters of luggage per passenger and provide a luggage storage area on each ferry. If you wish, though, you can take your luggage with you to the lounges or the deck (if there is one).
It is highly recommended to leave bulky suitcases in the designated area and take only your personal belongings (wallet, keys, mobile phone, etc.) with you upstairs.

A vehicle ticket is required in order for you to be able to take your car or motorbike with you to Mykonos.
Drivers should be at the port 60-90 minutes before the scheduled departure time.

Note: Many car rental companies do not allow customers to ferry their vehicles. We recommend not purchasing a vehicle ticket before contacting your car rental company.
