The Naxos to Rafina crossing connects Naxos and Rafina in Greece.
For a departure from Naxos, start by locating the ferry terminal and checking how to reach the correct boarding point. Naxos ferries arrive in Chora on the west coast, directly beside the old town and waterfront. Taxis, buses and vehicle hire are available near the port for beaches, inland villages and the south-west coast.
On the other side of the crossing, Rafina is your arrival port. Rafina is the main east-Attica ferry gateway and is substantially closer to Athens International Airport than Piraeus. The port is compact but very busy in summer, so arrive early and follow the exact vessel and boarding area on the ticket.
Compare the Naxos departure and Rafina arrival on the same dated itinerary. Sailing times and intermediate calls can differ between directions, so use the Naxos to Rafina result when planning your trip rather than assuming the outward timetable applies in reverse.
Check the total cost for everyone travelling, including any vehicle, reserved seat, cabin or other option offered. A later arrival in Rafina may affect your next connection or accommodation, so compare the whole journey as well as the fare.
