Naxos - At a Glance

Long before Mykonos and Santorini rose to global fame, Naxos had already earned its reputation for drawing travelers to its expansive sandy shores. This island offers a unique blend where traditional Cycladic architecture meets narrow medieval alleyways, Venetian fortifications, and a charming modern waterfront. While Naxos was never the focal point of major historical events, it boasts a rich and diverse cultural heritage shaped by the many civilizations that have inhabited it over the centuries. The island has successfully embraced tourism while preserving much of its traditional character, making it an ideal destination for those seeking a more authentic Greek island experience. With its lush hillsides, pristine beaches, and relaxed nightlife, Naxos is the perfect place to enjoy a peaceful holiday under the radiant Mediterranean sun.

GETTING AROUND

BY TAXI

While your TrueTrip experience likely includes most transfers to and from airports, ports, and hotels, there may be times when you’ll need a taxi. Always ensure the driver starts the meter upon entry and check the fare before paying. If you’re uncertain about pricing, your hotel concierge can assist and arrange taxi pick-ups for you.

BY CAR

Public transportation makes getting around fairly easy, but if you’d like to explore more remote areas, consider renting a car. Your hotel concierge can help arrange a rental with a trusted local agency. Keep in mind that many roads may be narrow, winding, and busy—drive cautiously.

BY MOPED

Renting a moped is a popular and flexible way to explore Naxos at your own pace. However, be aware that the roads are often narrow, aged, and heavily trafficked. We strongly advise using caution. Your hotel concierge can assist in arranging a reputable rental service.
