Although the distance to the city center is short, taxis charge €4 in initial airport fees. The Naxos Airport to city taxi fare shouldn’t be more than €15 for a regular four-seater vehicle, including luggage fees.

Where do I get it from?

The taxi rank at Naxos Airport is right in front of the airport building. As there is only one terminal and the airport is relatively small, the taxi rank is hard to miss as you leave via the main exits.

Convenience

Taking a taxi from Naxos Airport to the city is quite convenient. However, there can be a long wait for an available cab in the busy summer months.
