Naxos Island National Airport Guide
Naxos Island National Airport (ICAO LGNX) sits on the west coast of Naxos beside Agios Prokopios, about 3 km from Naxos town. It opened in 1992 and has a single asphalt runway, 18/36, roughly 900 m long.
The short runway limits the aircraft it can take, so services are flown by small turboprops rather than larger jets. Sky Express and Olympic Air both connect the island with Athens, and Aegean Airlines runs seasonal flights to Heraklion and Thessaloniki. Schedules change from year to year, so check the airline before booking a transfer.
Traffic is small and seasonal. The airport handled 86,210 passengers and 2,420 aircraft movements in 2018, and passenger numbers in the first half of 2025 were 36.9% above the same months of 2024. Most visitors to the island arrive by ferry instead, through the port at Naxos town, so the airport suits travellers who want a short flight from the mainland.
