Tips for Beach & Coast

Look for the southwest beaches

Beyond the popular Plaka, the beaches of Mikri Vigla (ideal for kitesurfing), Kastraki and Glyfada are quieter, wilder and more spectacular.

Dinner in a mountain village

For an unforgettable dining experience, drive to a village like Filoti or Apiranthos at night. The taverns serve incredible quality meat and local produce at very low prices.

A 'real' island

Unlike other islands, Naxos has a strong agricultural economy and a significant permanent population. You will see tractors on the road and authentic local life. Enjoy that authenticity.

tap water

Although it is considered safe in Chora, most people, including locals, drink bottled water for the taste and to be safe.

Be careful on dirt roads

To reach some of the more remote beaches, you may have to drive on dirt roads. Drive slowly and make sure your rental car is insured accordingly.
