The trip: We took the boat from Santorini. It was a beautiful trip but the service was bad and the staff rude... The boat was really overcrowded. There were no chairs for everybody cause many people used one or two more chairs in order to sleep. The staff was not doing anything about that. A shame! We set on the floor!
Reasons for going to Naxos: It was our first trip to Greece and wanted to see as much as possible of it. We have heard about Naxos Island from our travel agency and from friends.
Idea before arriving: We thought that the island would be less touristy than the famous Santorini. That it would be a beautiful cycladic island with traditional villages, a real greek way of life, amazing beaches and a good nature.
Expectations and opinions: Yes, definitely met our expactations. It is a really beautiful island with incredible beaches (Plaka). The island is really complete with beautiful villages, many excursions to do, archaeological sites, traditional villages, good food and a great nightlife. I really enjoyed spending some time there.
Favorite thing about Naxos: The beaches. There is this long beach of Plaka with its incredible white sand and clear waters. We were sun bathing there for hours.
Negative opinion: Too much sun beds and umbrellas on the beach. And they were really expensive.
Recommendations: Try it!
Yes, I would love to go to Naxos again. It is a really great place to spend some holidays. Less impresive than Santorini but much more fun.
