This is my Naxos Travel Blog!
Naxos is one of those greek islands that doesn’t get talked about a lot, but it can really surprise you. It is the largest island in the Cyclades group of islands and it’s almost 6 times the size of Santorini. The island has some of the widest and longest beaches in Greece on its southwestern side and a few really picturesque villages up on the mountains in its centre. There are some really nice hotels that have been built on the island the last decade but overall the island is still underdeveloped in my opinion, which is a very good thing if you are looking for unspoilt beauty. Naxos probably has the best local cuisine than any of the other Cyclades islands and a great tradition on excellent local produce of meat (mostly lamb) and cheese (the local yellow cheese called “graviera” is one of the best in Greece). Naxos is also one of the best greek islands for family holidays in my opinion.
