Villas in Naxos

Naxos is one of the few islands where you can easily move between long sandy beaches and more rural, green landscapes. Many of the villas in Naxos are specially designed to take advantage of this, giving you a mix of coastal access and more elevated positions with villas with sea views Naxos travellers often look for.

Along the west coast, you’ll find some of the island’s absolute best beaches, making Naxos beach villas private pool options very popular here. Further inland, there are some quainter, quieter settings with larger properties, including Naxos villas with pools and spacious homes suited to bigger group gatherings.

Food in Naxos is made primarily with local produce, with the island known for its cheese, potatoes and fresh ingredients. You’ll find dishes like grilled meats, traditional pies and seafood, which is often served in simple tavernas.

Local specialities like graviera cheese and Kitron liqueur are also definitely worth trying, along with wines that are produced on the island. If you’re staying in Naxos holiday villas, you are really going to enjoy the mix of traditional food and local produce that are available here.

Take a drive inland and explore the mountain villages, especially around Mount Zas. It’s one of the best ways to see a completely different side of the island, and it’s filled with traditional architecture, a ton of delicious local food spots and the most gorgeous views that stretch across the valleys and down to the coast.

• Visit the Portara, the iconic marble gateway to the Temple of Apollo, dating back to 530 BC and overlooking the sea. 
• Explore the Venetian Kastro in Naxos Town, built in the 13th century and still one of the most atmospheric parts of the island.
• Spend time at beaches like Agios Prokopios and Plaka, known for their long stretches of soft sand and clear water.
• Head inland to discover mountain villages and valleys that give Naxos its reputation as one of the greenest Cycladic islands.
• Use Naxos as a base for island-hopping, with really easy ferry connections to some of the nearby islands.
