Naxos, in my opinion, is one of the best Greek islands for family holidays as it has some of the longest and widest sandy beaches in Greece, with overall very family-friendly vibes with lots of cafes, tavernas, and restaurants around within walking distance. The best beaches in Naxos are mostly located on the southwestern part of the island in places such as Plaka, Agios Prokopios, and Kastraki.
BUT ALSO CHECK:
- For Families: Nissaki Beach Hotel
- For Couples:Milestones
- Budget:Spiros Hotel
- All-Inclusive: **There are no all-inclusives in Naxos!**
- In Agia Anna: Iria Beach Art
- In A.Prokopios:18 Grapes
Most of the main beaches on the island are reachable by the local Naxos Buses, but I highly recommend renting a car in Naxos as the island is pretty big with many things to see and do.
Most of the beaches in Naxos are very well organized and can be quite busy during the summer high season (July, August, and September), but they are generally so big and wide that they will never feel crowded.RECOMMENDED WEBSITES FOR GREECE:

CONCLUSION
So, these are the Best Beaches in Naxos. I believe that Naxos is one of the best Greek islands for family holidays with its lovely sandy and endless beaches, along with nice restaurants across the southwestern side of the island, combined with some super cute mountain villages such as Apeiranthos. The island never feels busy, and it’s not. On the cheaper side compared to Santorini or Mykonos, but because it’s pretty big, you would probably need a car to move around.
