Naxos is considered one of the most beautiful and authentic islands of the Cyclades and attracts more and more visitors every year
.
However it is not one of our favourites we much prefer Paros, Santorini, Mykonos or Rhodes. The main reason being the amount of motor bikes everywhere making it hard to walk on the narrow streets as they have no footpaths. We did not find  this anywhere else in the Greek Islands we have visited.

Naxos is becoming a popular destination with many people.  Impressive mountainous landscapes, beautiful beaches and many traditional white painted villages. Fishing harbours, Byzantine churches, ruins of ancient temples and an active nightlife.
The west coast has an endless golden sandy beach with crystal turquoise water. The first part of the beach, Agios Prokopios, was voted as one of Europe’s most beautiful beaches.
