Naxos to Kos ferry
The Naxos–Kos ferry route links two very different sides of the Greek islands, from the whitewashed villages and mountain-backed landscapes of Naxos to the broad shores of Kos in the Dodecanese. Leaving Naxos, the sea journey feels like a natural extension of an island-hopping holiday, with the open Aegean stretching between the Cyclades and the eastern Aegean. Kos is known for its long coastline, cycling-friendly terrain and layers of ancient history, including the ruins of the Asklepion above Kos Town. It is an appealing arrival for travellers continuing through the Dodecanese or settling in for time among beaches, harbour promenades and traditional villages. The crossing also offers a memorable change of pace: one island horizon recedes while another comes gradually into view.
