Long sandy beaches, shallow warm water and a giant marble doorway at sunset. Here's what Naxos is like with the family, when to go and how long to stay.
The EU is bringing in new entry checks, so check the rules on GOV.UK before you book.
June and September have warm sea and fewer crowds. July and August are hot and busy, and the strong meltemi wind can make some beaches choppy. Many hotels and tavernas close from November to April.
A huge marble temple doorway on an islet by the harbour. Walk over the causeway at sunset.
A sandy beach right next to Naxos Town, with shallow water that suits small children.
Miles of golden sand on the west coast, with plenty of space even in summer.
A windsurf and kitesurf spot with lessons for older children and teenagers.
The highest mountain in the Cyclades. A half-day walk for older children, with views over the islands.
A giant ancient marble statue lying unfinished in a farmer's garden in the hills.
Yes. It has some of the best sandy beaches in Greece with shallow water, good food and a relaxed feel. It's bigger and greener than many Cycladic islands, with lots to explore.
A week is about right for beaches and a few days out. Ten days lets you add another island by ferry.
Most families fly to Athens, then take a ferry from Piraeus or Rafina, or a short flight to Naxos. Greece is in the EU, so British passport holders can visit for up to 90 days in any 180 without a visa. New EU entry checks are being brought in, so check GOV.UK before you travel.
Buses link Naxos Town with the main west coast beaches, which is enough for a beach holiday. Hire a car for a few days to explore the mountain villages.
Put Naxos on standby with everyone's other ideas. You each spread your points in secret, get one veto, and the draw picks where you go.
