Beautiful Beach with long stretches to walk. Easy access to the beach. One of the pluses are shops and restaurants for food and drinks that nearby and you can get sunbeds and umbrellas for a pretty decent price. If you are like me and love a good massage, people come around offering different prices for a neck, leg or back massage. I took advantage of that. It was wonderful. Yes, there is a nude section. But, so what. It’s Europe, not the United States where everyone covers up. We found it was mostly older men and woman who were 65 and up. But, as I mentioned SO WHAT. To each his own.
2. Old Town

Old town of Naxos is a mix of tourist kitch, old world charm and plain, uneventful architecture. The waterfront is littered with Greek themed kitchy bars and restaurants that serve overpriced, though not bad food. The high town is quaint with winding alleys and bleached white townhouses and churches and a small castle.However there is no great architecture here, the plain, whitewashed walls do become monotonous really quickly and the tiny alleys can become oppressive especially at night.

This beach is the next beach past the famous Plaka. It faces West and seems to be permanently windy. It' no wonder that so many winsurfers and kitesurfers use it to practise their sport which in itself provides a colourful spectacle. The bit closest to Plaka is usually taken up by people more inclined to swim.

Having taken day trips throughout the Caribbean, we asked Naxos Tours about a day trip here in Naxos and were steered to Cycladic Cruises and the Jason Daily Cruises. We had an outstanding experience. Cruise leaves Dat 10am and returns 5pm. Nominally it is a south side of Naxos trip, visiting pristine Beaches. However the day we booked, there were strong west winds. Once on the water the Captain explained the situation- if we went to the south side we'd be in rough water rolling to and from and feeding the fish. Plus the Beaches would be rough and windy. He suggested we go north to Paros and to protected waters and Beaches. There were only 9 of us on the trip (May 24) and we quickly decided to take his advice and head north.
We stopped a secluded cove for a quick swim around the boat. Then headed to another protected beach where we swam in to shore. Delightful. Here the mate grilled lunch, grilled pork skewers and a wonderful salad with tomatoes, potatoes, green peppers, onions, and bread. And plenty of Tsiki and white wine. After lunch we cruised to Naousa and explored the bay and rock formations. Perhaps the most beautiful area I've ever seen. Then motored for our final swim at a beautiful beach, we swam over to rocks and sunned. What a great trip, and we could say we also visited Paros!
Captain knew what he was doing and gave us a full day. The food was excellent. And at 50 euros a person, a bargain.
Book this trip and have fun, you won't regret!
5. Kastraki Beach

We were staying close to this beach but it was not always suitable for swimming when the wind was from the West or North West which seemed to be most of the time. The northern part of the beach is sandy but has rocks in the sea making it ideal for snorkelling, whilst the southern bit is all sandy with crystal blue waters and a lot of space to spread out in an area. When it is windy the southern part turns into a windsurf and kitesurf superhighway while the beach becomes a sand blasting workshop.
We only managed to swim in ideal conditions once out of six days.

This was the last stop on our island tour and it was perfect. Got to learn about olive trees and how they made the oil until a few decades ago. The workers are friendly and you can try as much flavored olive oil, pastes, and jams as you want. I wound up buying a bunch too.
7. Maragas Beach

Plaka beach is the most famous beach in Naxos. Maragas is in the northern part of it. It is a great nude beach. The water is always very clean. There is a family owned restaurant, taverna paradiso right by, serving the best local delicacies. The northern part just under the tiny church (which is up on the hill ) is mostly gay. Highly recommended !

If you're ever in Naxos you will visit this place. It is the only ancient thing that remains in the town of Naxos from antiquity. There isn't much to see though, just a doorway and some foundation stones. It isn't exactly impressive though its location commands attention. The sunsets here are particularly beautiful, but expect around a thousand tourists to want to view and photograph them
9. Cave of Zeus

Reviewed By Gregory D - New Lambton
Although probably of historical interest, unless you have a very powerful torch ( our smaller one didn't cope), there is little to see at this cave, even though it supposedly goes back 100m. Most of the track to it is paved, with a bit of a scramble at the end. See it but don't expect much.

This 13th century castle houses a 16th century Catholic Cathedral, the Archaeological Museum and the Venetian Museum.
Reviewed By poodledoop - MA
Kastro is the venetian castle at the top of the hill. Going up the hill and into the fort is intersting - the environment is similar to but a bit different than the other greek Islands I've been to and there are some nice stores and performance spaces towards the top.
