2 Amazing Days in Naxos Greece
How to Get to Naxos Greece
Ferry
The most popular mode of transportation in Greece is ferries. When planning an island-hopping trip around Greece, ferries will be your best friend. The website I used when booking my ferries was Ferryscanner and they made it really easy and affordable to find ferries between the Greek islands.
Flight
If you are like me you may not realize that some of these small Greek islands have airports but they do. Naxos has an airport called JNX and it is located on the west side of the island. So if you are looking for another mode of transport that is not a ferry booking a flight is another option. When I book my flights I always use Google Flights to compare flight prices from multiple different companies. I recommend always comparing the prices you find on google flights to the flight on the actual company’s website to make sure you are always getting the best deal possible.
Where to Stay in Naxos Greece
I believe Naxos Town is the best place to stay in Naxos. Naxos Town is located right by the Naxos ferry port and very close to the Naxos airport. There are tons to see in Naxos Town, from the famous monument of the Temple of Apollo to the beautiful cobblestone streets to amazing beaches. Not only is Naxos Town beautiful but it also has a great bus station right by the ferry port that can take you to tons of other places on the island.
Naxos Town Airbnb
When I stayed in Naxos Town I stayed in a beautiful Airbnb called Charming Cozy Suites – Citron Suite, which I highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in Naxos Greece. This Airbnb was in a great location close to grocery stores, restaurants, the ferry port, and much more.Naxos Greece Map
Day 1 in Naxos
Plaka Beach
Plaka Beach is one of the many beautiful beaches on Naxos. With an amazing white sand beach and clear blue water, Plaka Beach is a must-see spot in Naxos Greece.

How to Get to Plaka Beach
To get to Plaka Beach you can drive, bus, or walk. By car and bus from Naxos Town, it is around a 20-minute drive. The bus ticket is around 3 euros for one way (6 euros round trip). And to walk to Plaka Beach from Naxos Town takes around 1 hour and 40 minutes.Lunch at Kaλń Kapδiá
After a few hours at the beach if you are like me you will be hungry so it is time for lunch. In Naxos Town, there is a street right along the water full of restaurants with a beautiful view of the water. We went to Kaλń Kapδiá which was a really nice restaurant in Naxos.Walk the Street of Naxos Town
After you eat lunch and have an after-beach shower you will be ready to walk the streets of Naxos. The streets of Naxos are beautiful cobblestone streets with colourful houses and shops. If you are like me you could spend a couple of hours walking these streets and taking photos.
Sunset at Temple of Apolo
After your evening walk in Naxos, I would recommend you end the night at the Temple of Apolo watching the sunset. I would plan to get to the Temple of Apolo early to get a good spot since it is a popular place on Naxos to watch the sunset.
Day 2 in Naxos
Hike Mount Zas
Mount Zas is the highest peak in the Cyclades which is a pretty amazing thing to tell people after your trip. Not only is it super cool to tell people you hiked the highest peak in the Cyclades but the views you get to see during this hike are amazing.
