Naxos: What to See and Where to Eat

Although Naxos is not one of the most touristic islands in Greece, it is an excellent choice for those looking for a sun-drenched beach vacation. The the weather is fantastic, the food is great, and the lack of nightclubs make it a more relaxed alternative to, for example, Crete or Mykonos.

Naxos Cruise To Antiparos & Caves Or Rina Cave & Small Cyclades
Nína:In Naxos, there are plenty of cruises to choose from, taking you to nearby islands and beaches that are only accessible via boat. I do not recommend to embark on these tours in very windy weather, check the forecast before you book.
