Naxos, Greece: A Mini Guide

Naxos, Greece: A Mini Guide

This is a mini guide for the Island of Naxos, Greece. I call it a "mini guide" because I have a larger and fuller 2 week Greek Island Itinerary. But if you're mixing and matching islands and just want to know about Naxos, then this is the guide for you! Naxos is increasing rapidly in popularity and it would be worth your while to get here while it is still so incredibly charming. Naxos is the largest of the Cyclades Islands and there are so many amazing things to do and see here. This guide will include everything that we did in Naxos... tours that we loved, places we ate, beaches we went to, how to get around, and our favorite parts. It will also include things we'd have done if we had more time and things that I'd still love to see on this incredible island.

Overview

Naxos is such a gem. We didn't realize how huge it was before arriving there. If we had more time I definitely would have spent a few more days here and visited more beaches, and villages on the island. There will be more about that later in this guide.  We loved our time here and it had such a special charm. The fact that we could hike a mountain in the morning while we were here and then be on one of the most beautiful beaches I've ever seen in the afternoon was incredible. The old town was delightful and picture perfect. It's so nice to sit along the water, people watch, sip a drink and enjoy the most beautiful sunsets. 

Where We Stayed

This airbnb was incredible. One of the best we've ever stayed in! It was so large and so clean! The terrace area was the most beautiful place we didn't even want to go anywhere else. We had a view of the sunset over the Temple of Apollo and we enjoyed sitting there each night with some wine and snacks. We could walk right into the ocean if we wanted to and had views from the whole home. I would highly recommend booking this place if you can. It was also a very easy walk into Naxos main town and anything you'd need. It was walkable from the ferry port as well.  

Naxos
@planformedani
We chose Naxos main town as our base. It was where the ferry arrived and departed from and we could get to our airbnb on foot. We could walk or take busses to almost anything we needed to do. It was beautiful and full of shops, restaurants, and activities.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
My name is Danielle and I have been planning trips for the past 10 years. One thing special and unique about my guides is that I am not producing guides that I didn't currently use myself. The places in my guides are places I have been, the itineraries are itineraries that I have personally followed. Everything is real and I have vetted myself. My travel planning story started with a honeymoon to Italy and since then it has grown each and every year. I love all kinds of travel! It's hard to fine a niche because I fit into so many categories. I love nature, hiking, and being outdoors. I love beaches and sunsets and sipping wine and cocktails in pretty places. I love learning about people and cultures and history. I love street art and busy cities and I also love small towns and quieter places. I will sleep in a hostel and I enjoy a beautiful hotel. I love South and Central America and I am obsessed with Europe. I've been to Asia twice and hope to get back in the next few years. I love to eat and one thing you'll always get from me are true and great reviews of places that I've personally eaten! I have just returned from Albania and I am working on guides from that trip! My full time job is as a School Leader of Social and Emotional Learning in Philadelphia. All my travel is done on school breaks and in the summer. I have still managed to visit over 36 countries and countless cities along the way. Being a teacher my whole life is about planning and I do believe I am exceptional at it. I work VERY hard to plan incredible trips and now you can hopefully benefit from that as well!
