I have tried Vathi (Samos) To Naxos on every day of the week around 18 September. Does this route operate in September? What days? I am getting nil result on on all days on several websites. Rome to Rio is saying there is a twice weekly ferry. Hope you can help.
Dear Ray, there is no connection between Samos and Naxos and from what i recal there was no such connection last year eiher, however there is a connection on 18/09 from Karlovassi (Samos) to Syros which arrives at 20:20 and then there is a ferry from Syros to Naxos at 21:25. You need to keep in mind that this connection may be risky if the first ferry is delayed due to the weather, as the next ferry to Naxos is on 20/09.
The other option you have is to go from Karlovassi to Mykonos, spend the nigh there and then take one of the morning ferries to Naxos.
if you need further help please do not hesitate to contact us at info@danae.gr
