Naxos Town is Incredible! ❤️Travel Guide + Ancient Ruins. What to do in Naxos, Greece
We spend a day exploring the town of Naxos (Chora) to find out the best things to do!
We started right by our hotel Kalergis Studio ( which is situated directly on Agios Georgios Beach directly in town.
It was really windy there so we quickly headed into town to explore the cute streets. Naxos is full of smaller alleys with white washed buildings and colourful doors. We found ourselves in the main town square, home to a great Gyro restaurant called Gyro, Gyro so we stopped for some lunch. We got one chicken and one pork gyro, both were delicious.
After we ate we did a bit of shopping (Instagram hat!) and made our way down to the port to explore the boardwalk area which is lined with restaurants and cafes, you’ll also find loads of boats there as well as the ferry dock.
We then headed to what remains of the Apollo Temple (Portara)- it used to be a full temple but now all that remains is a very large doorway. The temple dates back to 500 BC. The temple is on a separate island but is connected by a walkway to the town.
After the temple we made our way through the small, narrow streets up to the castle, where we found a cafe with a great view of the town.
Lastly we finished up our day by grabbing some delicious ice cream at the Waffle House.

Naxos Town:
The capital of Naxos (called Naxos Town or Chora) includes the island’s main port. Due to its position, it offers a variety of landscapes, which is quite unique for a Cycladic island town. Its proximity to the sea combined with the large number of tourist attractions and amenities make Naxos Town the most preferable place to be on the island.
As the ferry approaches the port, Portara immediately catches the traveler’s eye. Portara is actually the Greek word for “big door”. It is an unfinished temple dedicated to Apollo. This is where, according to Greek mythology, Dionysus met Ariadne. Portara was built on a small rocky peninsula called Palatia. Portara and Palatia are a favourite afternoon walk for all those who love the view of an unforgettable sunset.
With a population of approximately 2000 people, Naxos Town is quite busy all year round. However, it becomes even more crowded towards the end of spring (starting as early as mid May) and throughout the summer (right to the end of September). Unlike other areas of the island, on Naxos Town, many bars, café, tavernas and restaurants are open all year round.
Closest and nicest beach on Naxos Town is the beach of Saint George (Agios Georgios in Greek). It is usually a crowded beach with lovely tavernas literally on the sand and many bar-café to enjoy breakfast or a late evening drink. You will find umbrellas and sunbeds in the largest part of the beach as well as a famous sports club towards its end, where you can enjoy your favorite sports or take surfing lessons. The beach iof Saint George is perhaps the most popular on the island of Naxos, ideal for people who are not strong swimmers and for families with young children.
Naxos:
Naxos is an island in Greece, with 429 square kilometres the biggest of the Cyclades group. It's located right in the centre of the Aegean Sea. Roughly 20,000 people live on the island and it's a popular tourist destination, including some fine beaches and ancient ruins as well.
Naxos has a mild Mediterranean climate with warm, sunny and dry summers and mild but wetter winters. Summers from June to September average around 25-27 degrees Celsius during the day and still above 20 degrees at night. The influence of the sea means that it never feels oppressively hot and nights are kept nice and warm as well.

Naxos the largest of the Cyclades island group in the Aegean. It was the centre of archaic Cycladic culture. The island is famous as a source of emery, a rock rich in corundum, which until modern time was one of the best abrasives available.
The largest town and capital of the island is Chora or Naxos City, with 6,533 inhabitants (2001 census). The main villages are Filoti, Apiranthos, Vivlos, Agios Arsenios, Koronos and Glinado.
Tourism
===========
Naxos is a popular tourist destination, with several ruins. It has a number of beaches, such as those at Agia Anna, Agios Prokopios, Alikos, Kastraki, Mikri Vigla, Plaka, and Agios Georgios, most of them near Chora. As other cycladic islands, Naxos is considered a windy place perfect for windsurfing, as well as kitesurfing. There are seven sports clubs in the island that offer both of these sports and other water activities.
Agriculture
============
Naxos is the most fertile island of the Cyclades. It has a good supply of water in a region where water is usually inadequate. Mount Zeus (1003 metres) is the highest peak in the Cyclades, and tends to trap the clouds, permitting greater rainfall. This has made agriculture an important economic sector with various vegetable and fruit crops as well as cattle breeding, making Naxos the most self-sufficient island in the Cyclades. Naxos is also known within Greece for its potatoes.
Naxos, Greece - travel guide HD
Naxos is the most gorgeous Greek island. Naxos is the perfect destination for summer vacations. As we will show in this video, it offers something for everybody. There are many stunning beaches to enjoy the sun, crystal clean see, many monuments to discover its history, plenty of restaurants to taste Greek cuisine, small towns with unique atmosphere and picturesque landscapes. And the big plus is that it is not the main tourist destination of Greece, so we didn't have this feeling of mass tourism.

GREECE, EXPLORING ISLAND of NAXOS, the BEST BEACH to visit
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's go to Naxos which is a Greek island in the South Aegean, the largest of the Cyclades island group. Its fertile landscape spans mountain villages, ancient ruins and long stretches of beach. The namesake capital (also called Hora or Chora) is a port town filled with whitewashed, cube-shaped houses and medieval Venetian mansions.
We are going to visit 5 beaches and we will decide which is the best one: 1) The beach of Agios Georgios or what the tourists call Saint George, is the main tourist area of the island and despite the number of hotels, restaurants, bars and tourist shops it is a very enjoyable place to be, if you like windsurfing, water-sports, people watching and if you have children because the sea is very shallow. 2) and 3) The beaches of Agios Prokopis and Agia Anna are a little quieter but also very popular and there are rows of umbrellas and beach chairs that you can rent. Many hotels provide them for free so ask if you are staying nearby. These beaches though crowded in places are long enough so you can always find somewhere semi-private. These two beaches are considered by many to be the most beautiful in Greece with clear turquoise water that makes every picture you take look like a postcard or an advertisement for a Caribbean holiday. 4) Further on, the beach at Plaka is considered by others to be the best beach on the island with about five kilometers of golden sand. 5) The town of Apollonos (photo), on the far northern tip of the island has a large sandy cove and some restaurants and hotels and the feel of being on another island altogether.
