20+ Naxos Hotels From Beachfront to Mountain Retreat (2026)

The best hotels in Naxos are concentrated in Chora (Naxos Town) for nightlife and ferry access, and along the western beaches of Agios Georgios, Agios Prokopios, Agia Anna, and Plaka. Because Naxos lacks the massive all-inclusive resorts of Crete or Rhodes, expect intimate, family-run boutique properties ranging from €80 to €400 per night. Below are vetted recommendations chosen for verified pricing, beach access, transit logistics, and guest review scores above 8.5/10.

Why Naxos Is Different (and How to Pick the Right Area)

Naxos is the 10th largest Greek island and the biggest in the Cyclades, yet it remains one of the few unspoilt places in Greece — there are no large all-inclusive resorts here, only boutique properties, family villas, and apartment rentals. Reaching Naxos from Athens takes 3 hours 25 minutes by fast SeaJets ferry from Piraeus port, 6.5 hours by conventional Blue Star Ferries, or 40 minutes by Olympic Air flight (from €47). Always check Ferryhopper for live schedules.

The best place to stay in Naxos depends on what you want from the trip. Chora (Naxos Town) puts you steps from the ferry port, the marble Temple of Apollo (Portara), tavernas, and the old town — it’s the most convenient base if you don’t plan to rent a car.

The western beach corridor — Agios Georgios → Agios Prokopios → Agia Anna → Plaka → Mikri Vigla — is connected by frequent KTEL buses (every 15–20 minutes in peak season, €2.10 one way) that run from roughly 08:00 to 20:00. Inland mountain villages like Apeiranthos, Filoti, and Chalki offer a quieter Naxian experience surrounded by olive groves and the slopes of Mount Zeus, the highest peak in the Cyclades.
