The Naxos City Guides answer what every visitor wants to know: where Naxians eat lamb and graviera, which beaches stay calm when the north wind blows, how to reach the marble kouroi and Byzantine chapels inland and where Chora goes for a drink after sunset at the Portara. Each guide is a short list with a clear point of view, and every place comes with the reason to go, what to order or look for and one practical tip. The guides open in your browser the moment you pay.

Three places from the guides
Giannoulis
Agios Prokopios
A family fish and grill taverna that locals send even Greek visitors to. Order a whole grilled bream by weight and the lamb the mother cooks, and expect to wait for a table on summer nights. From the food guide.
Monastery of Fotodoti
Danakos, 20 minutes from Apeiranthos
A fortified monastery high on a hillside, raised over a 6th-century basilica, with views across the sea to Donousa. Entry is free and the rocky dirt road is fine if you take it slowly. From the things to do guide.
Alyko beach
South-west tip, near Kastraki
A small sandy bay with shady trees, rocks for snorkelling and an abandoned hotel on the headland. It stays calm when the north wind blows, so save it for windy days. From the beaches and day trips guide.
Plan your days on Naxos
Day one: walk the Kastro lanes and the Archaeological Museum in the morning, swim at Agios Georgios Beach, then eat in the old market and watch the sun go down at the Temple of Apollo. Day two: rent a car for the inland loop from the things to do and food guides, with the Kouros of Flerio, Panagia Drosiani, lunch in Halki and a stroll in Apeiranthos, then cocktails in Chora from the nightlife guide. On a windy or slow day, the day trips guide finds you a sheltered bay in the south-west, and the family and budget guides fill a quiet morning with a farm visit, a bakery breakfast and a free church or two.
