Why travel by ferry from Naxos to Ios?

Whether you're travelling alone, as a couple or with the family, a Naxos to Ios ferry can be a convenient and enjoyable option for getting to Ios. Here are 3 reasons why we think a ferry from Naxos to Ios is an ideal way to travel.

To not get tired, unlike in the car
Long car journeys are tiring and require constant vigilance when driving. Conversely, a Naxos Ios boat trip is ultra relaxing. Ferries operated by Hellenic Seaways, Golden Star Ferries, Blue Star Ferries, ANEK Lines or Sea Jets are designed with areas dedicated to relaxation or entertainment: lounges or cabins, outdoor solarium, bars and restaurants... No doubt you'll arrive in Ios completely relaxed.
Enjoy the fresh sea air
The health benefits of the sea have long been proven. In Naxos, as soon as you leave the port, take a walk on the deck of the Hellenic Seaways, Golden Star Ferries, Blue Star Ferries, ANEK Lines or Sea Jets boat and enjoy the sea spray and the invigorating oxygen-enriched sea air: a real thalasso cure and very effective for ventilating the lungs! The fresh sea air and the waves that rock the ferry will soothe you instantly. You'll arrive in Ios feeling perfectly zen and energised.
So you don't have to worry about the amount of luggage
With the train, bus or plane, an excess of one free piece of luggage is often applied and each additional piece of luggage generates an additional cost. On the Naxos Ios ferry, you can take as much luggage as you like, within the capacity of your vehicle. If you are travelling without a car, then you will be restricted in your movements throughout the journey to Ios. However, many ships provide luggage storage for foot passengers.
