Naxos Reviews -General

Naxos is a wonderful island. Naxos town has developed really nicely since we last came in 1990. The shops and restaurants are great, a mix of traditional and modern, with some lovely cafes. The waterfront has a lovely marina and paved area to walk and sit, to enjoy the views of the bay and the temple. This temple door is nicely lighted at night, so romantic! The port is nearby, but there is plenty of room so it gets crowded. St George bay has shallow water and a sandy beach close to the town, so everything is in walking distance. It is also easy and quick to get to other beaches on the buses for a change. St Prokopis and Plaka are also nice and have lovely bars around them. Naxos has the cheapest drinks in all Greek islands, 5 euros a drink when in Mykonos it costs at least 10-12. Our accommodation at Santa Katerina was excellent and the owner so friendly. We thought that Naxos was perfect for a family holiday and we will come back for sure.
