They are thirty to forty-five minutes apart, and many people do both.\r\nDo I need a scooter or car on Naxos? | Not for Chora and the beaches south of town, which are well served by buses in summer.

There are also flights from Athens to the island's small airport.\r\nHow hard is the Mount Zas hike? | Steep and rocky, about three hours there and back from Filoti.
