Nightlife

75

Relaxed and pleasant, focused on the bars on the Chora promenade and some places on the beaches.

Great atmosphere in the bars of Chora port at night.Some beach bars in Plaka and Agios Prokopios.Much calmer and less pretentious than Mykonos.
It is not a destination for clubbing until dawn.

Architecture

85

A charming Cycladic labyrinth in the capital and unique stone mountain villages.

La Chora (capital) has a beautiful labyrinth of streets and a Venetian Kastro.Inland villages such as Halki and Apiranthos have distinctive mountain architecture.Venetian towers ('pyrgoi') dot the landscape.
It doesn't have the postcard perfection of Oia or the Venetian grandeur of Chania.

Culture

85

A very deep-rooted and lively local culture, with a rich tradition in music, dance and gastronomy.

Mountain towns are centers of traditional culture.Important archaeological sites such as Portara and Kouroi.The Kitron distillery in Halki.
The museum offering is more limited than in Crete or Athens.

Tips for Romantic

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.
