    Iconic symbol of Naxos. It comes into view as the ferry arrives into port. To reach it, you have to walk on a footpath leading to the temple with the sea on both sides. Beware of sea sprays on a windy day! It was not crowded the days I went, a magical experience at sunset.

    Quaint Port Town, has historic sites to visit, shops, and eateries. Lots of steps, inclines, winding narrow pathways. Beautiful to stroll through.

    The beach itself is beautiful. It’s very long, but doesn’t feel too crowded. Although we didn’t go to any there are plenty of bars/restaurants in the vicinity, as well as toilet and washing facilities.

    Unfortunately, most of the beach is taken up by sun loungers, which were extortionately priced (at time of visit, 50€ a day for 2 beds and an umbrella). This is far more expensive than beaches on other islands. As such, we led on beach towels on the ground.

    Very nice Venetian style castle, worth the climb (also a lovely set of churches of various denominations and little meandering streets and archways surround it).

    A must visit, clear blue sea and lovely sandy beach. Definitely recommend a visit when staying in Naxos. It’s a short walk from the main road to the beach and there is a slight climb down to the beach.

    Would recommend hiring a scooter, quad or car to get there if your not staying near to this area, as the bus wasn’t reliable.

    The main archaeology museum is closed for renovations (heard that a lot before in Greece). However, there is a fantastic temporary museum located nearby. The museum is free, and contains 10s of examples of the huge 5,000 year-old white Cyclades figures - amazing. I had no idea there are so large. Despite being a small museum, I was in there nearly one hour. There is an excellent roof-top view/restaurant/bar nearby too.

    A busy and well run Seaport. Many different types of ships coming in and out all day. Easy to get a tour. Easy to get a ferry to other islands. Even with all that boat traffic, the water remains very clear.

    This was an amazing experience because of the exhibit that was featured at the time we visited. The weaving exhibit was artfully arranged in each room with such care…. Beautiful

    We enjoyed our time on this beach because it has fine, almost white sand, lots of parking, and almost no people. You can rent umbrellas and chairs, or walk a few hundred meters and be completely alone.

    The Cathedral is located across from Grotta Beach in Naxos. It is a distinctive whitewashed building. We did not go inside, although the photos on TripAdvisor are stunning.

    This small boutique gallery is unique and inspiring
    Yiannis explained in detail his creations and the process it takes from a single thought thru to a final sculpture
    At 80 he is still sculpting and wants to leave a lasting legacy of his work as a museum for all to enjoy

    It’s a must see not far from the main town
