Countries visited: 15-30
The trip: I arrived on Naxos Island by plane with Swiss Air and by boat with the Blue Star Naxos. The trip was good although the boat was delayed.
Reasons for going to Naxos: Recommended by friends who had gone there last summer.
Idea about Naxos Island before arriving: My expectations were met with the landscape, beaches, villages and food (all is nice as we expected) we weren’t interested in the nightlife (same as anywhere).
The beaches and the water was nice but not very interesting for snorkeling because of a lack of marine life.
- Food/Restaurants : 6/10 The best food we got in local tavernas (in the villages)
- Local People : We just met a few (short conservation) very nice.
- Accommodations : 8/10
- Activities : 10/10
- Prices : 5/10 Normal
- Public Transportations : 9/10
- Authenticity : 5/10 Only some villages in the mountains were truley authentic.
- Peace and quiet : 5/10 Except in the mountains
- Weather : 10/10
More: Over all a very nice and beautiful island. On the other hand there should also be some effort to take care of the marine wildlife.
Favorite thing about the island: The inland with the small villages and mountains
Best Beaches: We just know Plaka, which is nice
Best Activity: Climbing on Zas
Recommendations: Check on the weather (wind) according to the ferry travel.
Rate of the overall quality/organization/services of this island/area in comparison with other countries: 6/10
