Lavrio - Naxos ferry tickets from €22 | 2026

Lavrio - Naxos ferry tickets and schedules

Ferry tickets for the Lavrio - Naxos route start at €22 for one adult passenger. Car transport costs from €65, while motorcycle tickets start at €16. The connection operates once per week, and the crossing lasts from 9 hours and 10 minutes to 9 hours and 45 minutes, depending on the schedule.

The main service is operated by Hellenic Seaways with the conventional passenger and vehicle ferry Artemis. The vessel has a garage, reserved seating, indoor lounges, a café-bar, Wi-Fi, an outdoor deck and a designated pet area. Cabins are not available.

The low fare is the main advantage of this connection. Travellers should also consider the long journey time and limited frequency. The ferry calls at Kea, Kythnos, Syros and Paros before arriving in Naxos. Passengers taking a car should reserve garage space early, as the same itinerary transports passengers and vehicles to several islands.

Lavrio - Naxos ferry ticket prices

An economy-class ticket for one adult passenger starts at €22. This is a low fare for travel from Attica to Naxos, although the journey is operated by a conventional ferry and takes up most of the day.

The main fares are:

• Adult passenger from €22
• Two adults from €44
• Child aged 5-10 from €11
• Child up to 5 years old without a separate seat: free
• Motorcycle from €16
• Three-wheel or four-wheel motorcycle from €28
• Car from €65
• Boat trailer up to 5 metres from €72

These fares are calculated per passenger, vehicle and one-way journey. The car ticket does not include the driver. Every traveller needs a separate passenger ticket.

For two adults travelling with one car, the total cost starts at €109. For two adults, two children aged 5-10 and one car, the total starts at €131, before any additional discount is applied.

Through booktickets.gr, travellers can check availability, enter the correct vehicle details and compare the route with departures from Piraeus or Rafina.

Car ferry ticket prices

A ticket for a standard passenger car starts at €65. The price covers the vehicle only and changes for larger cars, motorhomes, commercial vehicles or vehicles towing a trailer.

The following details must be entered during booking:

• Registration number, make and model
• Vehicle length and height, when requested
• Vehicle category
• Roof box
• Trailer or other towed equipment

Selecting the wrong vehicle category may result in an additional charge at the port. If the actual vehicle does not fit the reserved garage space, loading may not be possible.

Having a car in Naxos is useful because the island covers a large area. From Naxos Town, travellers can drive to Agios Prokopios, Agia Anna, Plaka, Halki, Filoti, Apeiranthos and the mountain villages without relying on local buses.

Garage spaces are limited. Artemis carries vehicles for every port included in the itinerary, so vehicle availability may sell out while passenger tickets remain available.

Lavrio - Naxos journey time

The crossing lasts from 9 hours and 10 minutes to 9 hours and 45 minutes. The main Artemis itinerary includes four intermediate stops before arrival in Naxos.

The sea distance between Lavrio and Naxos is 74 nautical miles. The journey time depends not only on the distance but also on the time required for passenger and vehicle loading and unloading at the intermediate ports.

This route mainly suits travellers who:

• Are based in eastern or southern Attica
• Want a lower passenger fare
• Are travelling with a car
• Do not have a strict schedule
• Want to combine several islands in the Cyclades

When speed is the main priority, departures from Piraeus or Rafina provide more options and shorter journey times.

Frequency and weekly departures

The Lavrio - Naxos route operates once per week. The connection runs throughout the year but does not offer daily departures.

The limited frequency requires careful planning. Before booking accommodation or another transfer, check:

• The exact departure day
• The arrival time in Naxos
• Vehicle availability
• The return schedule
• Any connection with a flight or another ferry
• Transport options from Naxos port

If the sailing is missed, the next departure may be one week later. Travellers should arrive at Lavrio early and confirm the departure time before starting their journey.

Departure and arrival times

The timetable includes an early morning departure from Lavrio and arrival in Naxos during the afternoon. The exact time and total duration may change according to the operating period.

The Artemis itinerary follows this route:

• Lavrio
• Kea
• Kythnos
• Syros
• Paros
• Naxos

The full crossing takes from 9 hours and 10 minutes to 9 hours and 45 minutes. Departure times should be confirmed during booking, as the company may adjust the schedule because of operational needs or weather conditions.

Ferry company and vessel

The main connection is operated by Hellenic Seaways, a member of the Attica Group.

The vessel serving the route is Artemis. It is a conventional passenger and vehicle ferry designed for inter-island connections and itineraries with several port calls.

Its main features include:

• Length of 90 metres
• Width of 14 metres
• Speed of 19 knots
• Capacity of 512 passengers
• Capacity for 58 vehicles
• Garage for cars, motorcycles and trucks
• Indoor passenger areas and an outdoor deck
• No cabins

The ferry serves passengers, permanent island residents, workers and vehicle transport between Attica and the islands.

Direct sailings and intermediate stops

The main route is not direct. Artemis calls at four islands before reaching Naxos:

• Kea
• Kythnos
• Syros
• Paros

After Paros, the ferry continues to Naxos. The stops increase the journey time but also create useful connections between the islands.

Passengers travelling to Naxos remain on board. There is no need to change tickets or transfer luggage to another vessel.

During the port calls, the garage opens for vehicle loading and unloading. Passengers may enter the garage only when instructed by the crew.

Departure port in Lavrio

Lavrio port is located in southeastern Attica. It is 60 kilometres from central Athens and 35 kilometres from Athens International Airport.

Driving from Athens takes more than 1 hour, depending on traffic. The route from the airport is shorter.

Facilities near the port include:

• Parking areas
• Ferry ticket offices
• Cafés and restaurants
• Taxis
• KTEL regional bus stops
• Small shops

Travelling to Lavrio by public transport requires planning. Buses to the port do not operate as frequently as the transport services to Piraeus.

For an early departure, check whether the first bus reaches the port on time. Otherwise, a taxi, private transfer or overnight stay near Lavrio may be necessary.

Arrival port in Naxos

The ferry arrives at the port of Naxos Town. The quay is next to the centre, close to the waterfront, shops and the Portara.

Around the port, travellers will find:

• Taxi rank
• Local bus stops
• Car and motorcycle rental offices
• Cafés and restaurants
• Hotels and rooms
• Travel agencies
• Parking areas

Passengers staying in Naxos Town may be able to walk to their accommodation. Travel to Agios Prokopios, Agia Anna, Plaka and inland villages requires a bus, taxi or vehicle.

Cabins and passenger seating

Artemis does not have cabins. Passengers travel in reserved seats, indoor lounges and outdoor deck areas.

For a journey lasting more than 9 hours, a reserved seat is more comfortable. It guarantees a specific place and reduces the need to search for an available seat in the public lounges.

Large suitcases must be placed in the luggage areas indicated by the crew. Travellers should keep the following items with them:

• Identification document and ticket
• Money and cards
• Medication
• Mobile phone and charger
• Power bank
• Water
• Light jacket

Onboard facilities

Artemis provides the essential facilities required for a long ferry journey.

Facilities on board include:

• Air-conditioned indoor areas
• Reserved seating
• Café-bar
• Wi-Fi
• Outdoor deck
• Designated pet area
• Shared toilet facilities
• Facilities for passengers with disabilities
• Vehicle garage

The café-bar serves water, coffee, soft drinks and light food. For a journey of this length, carrying snacks and extra water is useful.

Naxos - Lavrio return route

The Naxos - Lavrio return route does not always follow the same weekly schedule as the outward journey. Available direct or seasonal connections must be checked for the chosen date.

During certain periods, a faster connection may be operated by Seajets, with journey times starting at 4 hours and 15 minutes and tickets from €69.70. This option is not available throughout the year.

If there is no suitable sailing to Lavrio, returning to Piraeus or Rafina may be more practical.

Alternative routes to Naxos

The main alternative is the Piraeus - Naxos route. More departures operate from Piraeus, using both conventional and high-speed ferries.

Rafina is another option, mainly during periods of increased demand. The port is convenient for travellers arriving from the airport or eastern Attica.

Lavrio is suitable when:

• The €22 fare is available
• The weekly departure matches the travel dates
• The journey begins in eastern or southern Attica
• The passenger is travelling with a vehicle
• The long duration is not a problem
• The trip includes other islands

Useful travel tips

Arrive at the port 60 minutes before departure. Passengers travelling with a car or motorcycle should allow 90 minutes.

Confirm the schedule on the previous day. A single weekly departure leaves little room for error.

Book the vehicle space early. The garage serves passengers travelling to five different ports.

Declare pets during booking and carry the health booklet, lead or travel carrier.

Check the return sailing before buying the outward ticket.
