Naxos Airport is the premier starting point for discovering the rich Greek heritage, unique natural wonders, and historic settlements of the largest island in the Cyclades. With a rental car, you can reach the vibrant capital of Naxos Town (Chora) and its iconic Portara (Temple of Apollo) in just 5 to 10 minutes north via the primary local network. For a journey into spectacular coastal beauty and relaxing seaside dining, the famous crystal-clear waters of Agios Prokopios and Agia Anna are roughly 10 minutes west. If you seek deep cultural discovery and mountain exploration, the breathtaking marble-paved streets of the historic mountain village of Apiranthos are a comfortable 40-minute drive into the interior highlands, all easily connected through the primary island road network.
The wider island region offers an incredible mix of traditional character and raw natural beauty, from the bustling waterfront tavernas of the capital to the quiet, mountain-veiled roads and traditional farming communities of the Tragea Valley. A rental car gives you the ultimate freedom to explore beyond the airport and discover hidden local culinary spots, historic Venetian towers, and the quiet scenic roads that cut through the rolling landscape. Find your own rhythm in the modern and historic heart of the island.
At Zest Car Rental, we offer a wide range of vehicles at Naxos Airport to suit every journey. Whether you need a compact car for efficient city driving and easy town parking, a spacious SUV for a comfortable family road trip across the rugged terrains, or a sturdy vehicle with a strong engine to comfortably handle the rolling rural climbs, we have the perfect fit for you. All provider-specific details can be found in your car rental terms and conditions.
Pick up your car at Naxos Airport and drop it off at alternative authorized island drop-off locations where available, such as Naxos Port. One-way rentals are a popular way to explore the diverse beauty of the landscape without needing to return to your starting point, giving you more freedom for your holiday layout.
Please note that each provider sets their own rules for one-way rentals, and some may apply a mandatory local fee. This is clearly shown during the booking process.
Can I rent a car in Naxos if I am under 25?

Can I rent a car in Naxos if I am over 70?
Yes. Senior drivers are widely welcomed. Most rentals have no additional fees for seniors, though we always recommend checking the specific terms for your chosen vehicle.
Naxos is a spectacular destination across all seasons. The Summer months (June to August) offer warm, beautiful weather ideal for exploring outdoor historical sites, beach hopping, and experiencing regional festivals. Spring (March to May) and Autumn (September to November) are also highly popular, featuring pleasant, mild temperatures that are absolutely perfect for driving tours, hiking, and exploring historic old towns without peak seasonal crowds. Winter brings crisp Mediterranean air and quiet roads to the island, though drivers should budget extra travel time for high-altitude interior routes during winter weather.

For journeys from Naxos Airport, there are no motorway tolls, electronic toll systems or vignette requirements. Drivers can travel between Naxos Town (Chora), Agios Prokopios, Apiranthos and other destinations on the island without paying road tolls.
