My favourite island on Cyclades. by Sa_nna

The island is not too crowded by turists, at least not on low season. This means that the hotel owners are fighting over you, which isn’t always nice. Other than that, there’s plenty to explore. We went hiking to the inland several times, it is very lush there between the valleys. The tiny inland villages amaze too. And yes, I ate the best pita gyros in Naxos Town (vegetarian of course). Naxos Town is very beautiful and cosy.

There are three camping sites placed on the biggest beach of the island (past the airport). I recommend to not take the first one, which is the biggest but way to noisy. the second one called La Plaka we found very nice, quit and easy…

Ana and Prokopios are great beaches, and be sure to stop in at Stavros’ bar on the way back.

  • travel.nytimes.com Introduction to Naxos by FROMMER'S November 20, 2006 Green, fertile, largely self-sufficient Naxos has not needed to go all-out to attract tourists. This wealthy agricultural island exports an abundant harvest of olives, grapes, and potatoes throughout the Aegean, and only recently has begun to import tourists. A new airport and speedier inter-island travel have made it easier for visitors to get here. New hotels have appeared in the port, and more hotels cluster on island beaches. Thankfully, the island's character hasn't been dominated by the recent development. The inland mountain villages, on the lower slopes of imperious Mount Zas, the highest mountain in all the Cyclades, preserve the rhythms of agrarian life. In Apiranthos, you can taste bread redolent with the smoky aroma of a wood oven, and in Filoti sample local wines beneath a venerable plane tree. The locals maintain a friendly indifference, which could be misconstrued as surliness by visitors who pass through. (read article)
