Best neighbourhoods
in Naxos

The actual working port town — Venetian Kastro on the hill, restaurants below, ferry quay at the front.

Marble-paved mountain villages 600m up — Apiranthos, Halki, Filoti, the cool inland Naxos beach-tourists never see.

The main beach strip 5km south of Chora — sand, sunbeds, hotels, and the bus route into town.

The longest beach on Naxos — 4km of sand, no big resorts, naturist sections at the north end.

The kite and windsurf capital of the Cyclades — granite headland splitting calm and wild.
