2025 Naxos Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

#EuropeanTravel #Greece 🇬🇷 The Island of the Prosperous Dionysus, Naxos, Greece🍷 🏛️ The Story of a Greek Island Blessed by the God of Wine and Agriculture Among the many islands of the Cyclades, I chose Naxos, for the simple reason that it is the island of Dionysus😇 How delicious would the wine of the island blessed by the god of wine be? It is the largest and most prosperous island in the Cyclades, and how delicious would the food made from fresh produce be? I decided on this island with these simple thoughts🙌🏻 The third Greek island destination, Naxos, was more leisurely than Paros, and was full of shallow and wide beaches, and you could see grapevines and olive trees everywhere on the island, and while admiring the homemade breakfast provided by the hotel, it was an island full of Greek history and mythology, to the point that it felt like an open-air museum everywhere you went💕 Dionysus is also known as the god of parties and pleasures, but unlike Mykonos or Laganas, it is not a crazy Instead of a party It was Dionysus, the god of abundance and wine🙌🏻 🇬🇷 What do you think of these Greek island destinations?

#islands My summer getaway to Naxos was absolutely wonderful! 🌞 This Greek island is a hidden gem with its stunning beaches, charming villages, and rich history. We stayed near the main town of Naxos, which is full of lively cafes and shops. The best part? Access to most of the beautiful beaches, like Agios Prokopios and Plaka, is free, though beach chairs and umbrellas cost around €15-€20 for the day. 🏖️ We explored the ancient Portara, an impressive marble doorway from a 6th-century BC temple, which is free to visit. 🏛️ A short drive took us to the picturesque village of Apiranthos, known for its narrow streets and traditional architecture. If you’re looking for a mix of relaxation and culture, Naxos is the perfect destination. #trip #localguides #Naxos #Greece #IslandLife #TravelDiaries

#wecreate What a little gem! A beach front restaurant serving a great food & wine 🍷 We booked a table for 2 by the front with a view of sea- definitely needs to to book in advance. The food is not your usual Greek traditional it’s more like fine dining but affordable prices-in Naxos island restaurants are relatively cheaper then the near by islands such as Santorini and Mykonos. We had tuna ceviche for starter as well as a goat’s cheese salad, they were so tasty. For mains we had mixed seafood with langoustines and octopus dish which was excellent. 🦐 🐙 We had a fine white wine called Sheriff Farman and a desert with ice cream and a cheese cake lovely! A few signature cocktails always a good start too! 👌 #Nissakibeachhotel #naxos #summervacation #luxuryhotel #hotel #Naxosisland #greekisland #greece #mytripvlog #tripblazers #Restaurant #food #dinner #Visitnaxos

Nomad Bear bar and restaurant is location on Naxos island, at Plaka Beach. This is a beautiful spot for the day, you can pre book sunbeds, this has to be done at least the day before as you can’t get sunbeds on the day. They have a great menu for lunch and cocktails. The staff are super friendly and always happy to help. The bus stops very close to the restaurant and to get back on the bus it is not far either. I went for the day and just had lunch and a few cocktails sat on the day sofas in the restaurant and it was so relaxed. If you are able to get sunbeds for the day I would highly recommend! #Naxos #greece #greekisland #greekfood #greekculture #mytripvlog #summervacation #beachs #beachbar

When it comes to Greek islands, many people know of the tourist hotspots of Santorini and Mykonos. This time we arrived at Naxos, which is a 2-hour boat ride from Santorini. The famous attraction in Naxos is the Gate of Apollo, a marble frame on a small rocky hill on the coast, which was built by the king in 552 BC. There are not as many tourists as in Santorini, and the shops and houses on the streets are all pure white. There are many restaurants serving Greek and Italian food at very reasonable prices. There are many hotel options and they are not expensive. Naxos is a small island worth staying for a few more days😆😆😆 #Greece #naxos

#Emotional Accommodation #European Travel #Greece ✨A place that captured our hearts with its reasonable price, cleanliness of a newly built hotel, and spacious rooms with modern design✨ 📍Mandilaras Village located on the hillside of Naxos, Greece 👍🏻 The ultimate in convenience Perfect facilities with an oven and washing machine! Wash all your wet laundry after playing in the water, and buy fresh local ingredients to have dinner🩵 🌅 Infinity Pool Sunset Restaurant You can see the whole of Naxos Island at a glance from the two-tier infinity pool! Especially during the evening when the sunset is setting, you can enjoy an unforgettable and enchanting view✨ 🍽️ Really delicious homemade breakfast Start your day with a homemade breakfast prepared with care! Especially the homemade Greek yogurt is a taste you won't forget once you try it👍🏻 Since it is located on a mountainside, a rental car is essential, but it is a sentimental accommodation that guarantees complete privacy🩵 If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy the true beauty of Naxos, I highly recommend Mandilaras Village🙌🏻

#EuropeanTravel #Greece #Wine 🇬🇷 It was the island blessed by Dionysus🍷 It would be a shame not to go to a winery in Greece, right?🥹 The winery I really wanted to visit in Naxos more than any other island And then I realized.. This is the island of Dionysus… 🙌🏻 Located on a mountainside, 15 minutes by car from Naxos Port, opened in 2016, this small winery is the first and only wine tasting experience in Naxos✨ 🍷 Saint Ana Winery Wine Tasting Tour 💝 Includes: 5 premium wines + homemade platter Explore the vineyards behind the 9th-century church, Learn about the process of making different wines, and taste wine and platters in the 100-year-old house garden💕 Under the hot Naxos sun and sea breeze, and the wine made from Naxos grapes grown in fertile soil, and the platter made from organic olive oil and ingredients were just crazy delicious… 🥹🩵 So we finally took out our cards… ✨ With olive oil, wine, and Naxos liquor, both hands full… The price was ridiculously cheap👍🏻 The Italian couple sitting next to me ordered a whole box.. They even made a reservation to ship it to Italy👀 ✅ Bring a ziploc bag with you because the olive oil might leak If you want to taste really delicious local wine and olive oil, You must visit this place in Naxos🙌🏻🩵

#EuropeanTravel #Greece #Naxos ⛰️ A ‘marble village’ located 600m above sea level, Apeiranthos This village, hidden in the mountains, is a 30-minute drive or 1-hour bus ride from Naxos Town, and is a secret place that was only discovered in the 15th century, where it is hard to find blog reviews even if you search Naver. 🤫 Donkeys carry luggage along the narrow, winding roads, and this maze-like place where you might get lost if you let your guard down is surprisingly our favorite village in Naxos👍🏻 Since it is a small village located on Mount Panari, it is a place that you can easily see around in half a day, so we stopped by for a drive in the morning and had lunch💕 🌟 The most delicious restaurant & cafe in Naxos ~ Mpakalogatos: Octopus dish + eggplant lasagna ~ Berdema Cafe: Tzatziki + Greek salad ~ Fabrica Cafe: Coffee shop run by neighborhood grandfathers 🍯 Visiting Apeiranthos Tips ✔️ Since the tour bus arrives around 12 o'clock, I recommend visiting in the morning ✔️ Make sure to eat at least one meal in this town (#1 in Naxos in my opinion) ✔️ Don't go too deep into the town when you're walking around (get lost) ✔️ Be careful driving at night because it can be dangerous on mountain roads ✔️ If you're confident in your driving, stop by Rotonda and watch the sunset ✔️ If you go to this town, you must buy Greek souvenirs here👇🏻 📍Apeiranthos Souvenir Shop Το Υπερώον Souvenirs made by Naxos craft artists Unique magnets made of Naxos marble, etc. Selling absolutely high-quality handicrafts and souvenirs✨ 👉🏻 Caution: Be careful of empty stomachs... In fact, there are no famous tourist attractions that you ‘must’ see in this town, but listening to the old men in the neighborhood chatting under the cool shade, having a cup of delicious coffee, walking around the town, and enjoying authentic food made with local ingredients from a place with a view of Mount Naxos, a town that was great because there was nothing to do(?) Il bel far niente, a place I sincerely recommend if you want to feel the beauty of doing nothing🩵 How about a town like this during your trip?🙌🏻

#EuropeanTravel #Greece #Naxos A place that takes 10 minutes by car from the port and 5 minutes from the airport🙌🏻 📍 This small and cute town is Agia Anna A place with white-building accommodations along a clear and clean beach, and many local taverns and beach clubs👙 Naxos is an island in the Cyclades Islands that has many beautiful beaches🩵 👉🏻 The second reason I chose Naxos among the many islands Among them, it is easily accessible by bus, and there are many restaurants and beach clubs in the town, so it is a place recommended if you want to stay on the Naxos beach🫶🏻 👣 You can walk everywhere in Agia Anna, so if you rent a car, you can park your car in the free parking lot behind Aspazia Hotel and explore Agia Anna town💕 🌟 Recommended restaurants with Google ratings of 4.5 or higher (€5-15) ~ Spyros ~ Oregano Souvlaki Meze ~ Banana Restaurant ~ Akrogiali Restaurant 🍯 There are also really beautiful churches and beaches nearby! ~ Chapel of Agios Nikolaos ~ Plaka / Mikri Vigla Beach It's a shame that I only stayed for one day🥹🩵 If I go back, I really want to stay longer🫶🏻 If you're a fan of the movie , you must visit here!

#EuropeanTravel #Greece If the magnificence of Santorini Oia Village is represented, Hora Village can be called ‘simplicity’. Just 2 and a half hours from Athens, a cost-effective travel destination in Greece Naxos Chora Village Travel Information👇🏻 🩵 Enjoy Chora, the capital of Naxos, in half a day ~ See the fortress surrounded by medieval Venetian walls ~ Watch the sunset from the observation deck of the Temple of Apollo next to the port ~ Get lost in the emotional alleys of the old town ~ Have dinner made with local ingredients at To Elliniko 🤍 Greek mythology-related historical sites in Naxos ~ Temple of Apollo + Statue of Aphrodite ~ Temple of Demeter + Temple of Dionysus ~ Mount Zas + Cave (where Zeus grew up) ~ Naxos Archaeological Museum 🚎 Transportation (Bus fare: €2~3.50 one way) There are buses connecting large towns in Naxos, so you can use public transportation to get to major tourist attractions, beaches, and villages! However, since it is a large island, if you don't have a car, it may be more difficult to get around compared to Paros, and the Naxos bus schedule may also change depending on the season!

#EuropeanTravel #Greece Recommended island destinations where you can save 30% on your Greek travel expenses👇🏻 While preparing for a trip to Greece, which was one of my bucket list items, I naturally looked for these two islands first… But after learning about the outrageous prices and crowds during the peak season, I just couldn't bring myself to go🥲 In addition, due to the recent earthquake in Santorini, I think those preparing for a trip to Greece will have a lot to worry about…! In fact, the scenery of Santorini and Mykonos, which we know, represented by white buildings and blue roofs, is a scenery that can be seen in any island in the Cyclades Islands, which the two islands belong to. ✨ 👉🏻 Number of islands in the Cyclades Islands = 220 Two islands selected after searching for so many islands🏝️ 📍 Paros & Naxos ✔️ Buildings as beautiful as Santorini and Mykonos ✔️ Islands with beautiful beaches and sea colors ✔️ Many small and cute towns to see ✔️ Much more leisurely travel even with many tourists ✔️ Hotels, restaurants, and services are 70% of the price of famous islands ✔️ Arrive in 2-3 hours by speedboat from Athens 👉🏻 Paros-Naxos section takes 30-40 minutes by ferry 🍯 In fact, Paros and Naxos have become hot after Corona among Europeans who are tired of the high prices and crowds of Santorini and Mykonos. These are rising islands🙌🏻 ✅ You must know this! They are much larger islands than Santorini and Mykonos, so the mountains are located in the center of the island and there are many flatlands, so it is hard to find the view that comes to mind when you think of Santorini, with white buildings and blue pools all over the cliff‼️ However, for me who loves leisurely travel, these two islands were so lovely💕 For those of you who have the same travel style as me, I will explain the information about the two islands one by one starting today👍🏻

| Naxos Island, Greece. A Dreamy Pearl in the Aegean Sea | Naxos Island, Greece A hidden gem in the Aegean Sea - Naxos Island, Greece. It is like a romantic lyric poem, with each character flowing with charming style, and each page depicting a mesmerizing picture. Stepping onto this island is like stepping into a dreamland forgotten by time. 🏝️ Island Location: Dreaming of the Aegean Naxos Island is located in the center of the Cyclades in the southern Aegean Sea, like a dazzling pearl in the Aegean Sea, exuding a unique charm. When you take a ferry and gradually approach the island, the rolling mountains, scattered buildings, and crystal-clear sea water in the distance unfold like a painting, making you eager to immerse yourself in it. 💫 The Charming Features of Naxos Island 1. Ancient and Mysterious Historical Sites Naxos Island has a long and glorious history, and the many historical sites on the island are like silent history books, quietly telling stories of the past. The most notable is the Portara Arch, which stands alone on a hill at the southern end of the island, enduring thousands of years of wind and rain, yet still standing strong. This unfinished giant arch was built to commemorate Dionysus, the god of wine in Greek mythology, and its grand scale and exquisite craftsmanship make people marvel at the greatness of ancient Greek civilization. When you stand under the arch, it feels as if you can travel through time and see the scene of craftsmen working hard back then, feeling the piety and awe of people in that era towards the gods. In addition, there are many ancient temple ruins on the island, and the ruins and beautifully carved stone pillars all showcase the once-glorious ancient Greek architectural art. Each stone carries the traces of time, waiting for you to explore the mysteries within. 2. Stunning and Enchanting Beach Scenery The beaches of Naxos Island are a gift from nature to the world, breathtakingly beautiful. The St. George Beach, stretching for several kilometers, has fine sand like powder, shimmering with golden light under the sun. The crystal-clear sea water presents different shades of blue from shallow to deep, from mint blue to deep sapphire blue, as if it is the color carefully blended by nature, the top painter. The waves gently lap the beach, making a pleasant sound, as if playing a beautiful lullaby. You can run and play on the beach to your heart's content, or lazily lie on a beach chair, enjoying the kiss of the sun and the gentle caress of the sea breeze. Agios Prokopios Beach is known for its tranquility and beautiful environment, with mirror-like calm sea water, making it an ideal place for swimming and diving. When you dive into the water, you will be amazed by the colorful underwater world in front of you, with coral reefs, tropical fish, and various marine creatures all in sight, as if entering a dreamy fairy tale world.

#traveldiaries #greece Honey and Cinnamon Bar is the most photogenic cafe in Naxos island. Not only does the cafe have beautiful flowers and pretty interior decor, the food and drinks are really delicious! The cafe is strategically located in the old town which is near to the port and serves healthy options including healthy pancakes topped with granola and fresh fruits and super berries bowl. Recommended having brunch in this cozy cafe when in Naxos.

#traveldiaries #greece Naxos' Temple of Apollo (Portara) is a huge marble gate that is the single remaining part of an unfinished Temple of Apollo of 530BC. Fun fact: National Geographic Logo is inspired by Portara and upon reaching Naxos port, you can spot it from afar! It is an iconic attraction of Naxos and said to be the spot with the best sunset on the island. Pro-tip will then be to come during sunset to have an instagramable photo!

#traveldiaries Just got back from Naxos Island, and I’m already missing it! 🏝️ This place has everything you could want in a Greek getaway—stunning beaches, rich history, and amazing food. One of my favorite spots was Plaka Beach, a long stretch of golden sand and clear, turquoise waters. Best part? No entrance fees for most beaches! You can just pick a spot, relax, and enjoy the views. If you’re into history, don’t miss the Portara, the ancient temple ruins right by the port—it’s free and the sunset views from there are unforgettable 🌅. The island is also full of charming villages like Halki, where I wandered through narrow streets and tasted local Kitron (a citrus liqueur). Don’t skip a visit to the Temple of Demeter—only a few euros to enter, and the site is surrounded by peaceful countryside. Naxos is not as crowded as some of the other islands, making it feel like a hidden gem. #trip #NaxosIsland #GreekBeaches #Cyclades #IslandLife #GreekHistory

I had a very fun trip in the summer in Naxos Greece. This beautiful island has so much to do and amazing places to visit. I went to so many beaches with crystal clear water and I also went to so many nice restaurants that make the most delicious fresh food. I also explored the history of this island and did some really good shopping. I really loved Naxos and would definitely come back.

#Southeast Asia Air Ticket Event Acre Port in Acre Old City, a World Heritage Site. Now, only small fishing boats come and go, rather than serving as a port. It is an ancient port city, and a city with remaining walls and fortresses from the Crusades and relics from the Ottoman Turks. There are also places where you can take a yacht tour or boat tour.

#beachlife If you have been to Santorini before and it bothers you the herds of tourists, non stop picture posing and inflated prices. Perhaps you should consider this beautiful place I went to and I'm sure glad i did. I'm talking about Naxos. And ancient place in Greece with plains and valleys. It is amongst the most under rated of Greek islands. But such a joy when you find a place not as crowded as the popular islands of Greece. Infact very few tourists when I was there. And it is an island so a beach getaway is absolutely possible. Might I add, a stunning one. Naxos is the largest among the Cyclades and the most versatile island in the region. Since i had the luxury of time, i went island hopping in the Cyclades, and Naxos was one of the islands that felt the nicest. With some of the most beautiful beaches in Greece, numerous hiking trails, and archeological sites to discover, this Cycladic island has something for every type of traveler. Try it and you'd understand what I'm talking about. #beachlife #Naxos #greekhistory
