What to do and see in Naxos, South Aegean: The Best Things to do Good for Kids
A spot of white in the turquoise waters of the Aegean Sea, the island of Naxos is a unique blend of ancient ruins and beach culture. The largest of the Cycladic Islands, Naxos is the childhood home of none other than Zeus, king of the gods. Upon arrival in Naxos, hike over a causeway to Palatia, where the Portara, a stone gateway to an ancient temple that no longer exists, stands alone, the symbol of the island. At sunset, the views of the island, and the sea beyond, are breathtaking.

A sunny stretch of sand by the sea, littered with nude and semi-nude sunbathers from all over the world.

This is a great beach. The sand is super fine, there is plenty of space available, and it’s surrounded by shops and restaurants

I fall in love with this charming part of the city. Day or night I enjoyed seamlessly roaming the narrow streets full of boutiques, taverns, galleries and little houses where still the locals live, not just seized by tourists. From some parts there as beautiful views of the city. Unfortunately some buildings such as the Tower or museum which are currently under the reconstruction.

Lovely scenic alleyways. Lots of shops but didn't feel tacky touristy. We found an excellent traditional wood fired bakery in the Old Market area - best bread we had on the island and freshly baked all day long so piping hot when bought - open all day and till 9pm at night too. Worth going right up to the castle area and onto the terrace (through a cafe) to get a wonderful panoramic view of the island.

We spent great time in Agia Anna beach. My children felt in love with thearea and our apartment in Naxian Breeze. We stayed only a few meters from this wonderful sandy beach and this was very helpful and comfortable, There are many greek taverns with great greek plates to try. There are also many beach bars where you can enjoy your coctail, breakfast or meal. One of the best hlidays so far!!

Beautiful sand, crystal clear Aegean Sea, perfect for swimming and sunbathing, with an excellent selection of small shops, bars and restaurants adjacent. Sun beds were reasonable at €6 for 2 plus parasol per day (prices along the beach went as high as €10). The highlight, however, are the sunsets. Truly spectacular. We fell in love with Agious Prokopios...

Probably one of the 2 most beautiful beaches on Naxsos, we were as family 2 times on Naxos, and we visited the whole island and all the beaches. Fine sand and clear water, no crowds, when it is windy, kiters gather in one part of the beach, so it was interesting to watch them how they cut waves...
