Start the day by shuffling between two spectacular beaches- Agios Prokopios Beach and Plaka Beach. Both beaches are best known for their azure blue waters and white sand beaches. Visitors can indulge in various water sports activities, sunbathe, and sip cocktails at the beach bars.
Get ready for a fun-packed day with thrilling water sports activities such as parasailing, windsurfing, and jet-skiing at Mikri Vigla Beach followed by a boat tour to the nearby islands.Koufonisia is a popular choice among tourists due to its magical sea caves, clear waters to swim, and magnificent landscapes. In the evening, enjoy live music and drinks at Ostria Beach Bar.
On the final day, take a delight in exploring the ancient Greek temples at Portara Temple and then go for a hike to the highest peak of the island Mount Zas. Afterward, visit Naxos Old Town and stroll around the narrow streets between the traditional whitewashed houses, boutiques, and restaurants that offer delicious Greek cuisine.
Transportation will not be an issue during this trip as most locations are within easy reach by taxi or rental car. Hiring a car may be the best option for a group of people, as it offers more flexibility and convenience. Expect to pay around 30-40 EUR per day for a small car. Taxis are also readily available and typically charge 10 EUR per ride from town to town.
If you have more time, consider visiting the picturesque villages of Halki and Apiranthos. Alternatively, if you have less time, you might consider skipping the hike on Mount Zas and replacing it with a visit to Temple of Demeter, located outside of Sangri village.
Naxos Island National Airport (JNX) is the primary airport on the island, located approximately 2.5 km south of Naxos Town. Visitors can fly directly to Naxos Island National Airport from Athens International Airport (ATH) or Santorini National Airport (JTR). Alternatively, ferries run regularly from Athens, Santorini, and other nearby islands.
