Naxos Apollon Airport (JNX) is the island's sole airport, providing a vital domestic link for travelers arriving via Athens. Perfectly situated just 3 kilometers from the heart of Naxos Town (Chora), it offers incredibly convenient access to the island's famous sandy beaches, the main port, and authentic accommodations. The airport's flight schedule expands significantly in summer to meet demand, while its small size and simple layout ensure a quick and easy passage for all travelers, offering a relaxed start to their Cycladic holiday.

The terminal provides essential amenities including a cafe for refreshments and a variety of on-site car rental services. For onward transportation, pre-booked transfers and taxis are the most popular choice for a direct ride to your hotel, as the number of available vehicles can be limited when a flight arrives. A public bus service also connects to the town and nearby beaches. To ensure a vehicle is waiting for you, booking an Aegean Taxi transfer in advance is the best way to guarantee a swift and comfortable start to your Naxian holiday.
