Naxos in Greece is a destination that Island Escapes plans for couples and families, with a focus on seclusion and privacy. As a Swiss travel agency with video consultation, Island Escapes also organises long transfers to remote islands. The planner starts the island planning, and on a video call you clarify the details.
Updated: 8 August 2026.
Why this trip
Marble gates, broad sandy beaches and villages in the interior: Naxos is the largest of the Cyclades and yet feels relaxed. If you come in May or September, you share the coast with few others. In Naxos Town stands the Portara, a marble gateway that once belonged to a temple and today frames the sunset. The Venetian Museum in the old town, the Archaeological Museum and the Trani Porta show the history of the island, good for rainy days and for children who like to see castles.
The rest of the island belongs to the beach: sand, shallow water and wind that brings cooling. The best time is from May to June and from September to October, when the sea is warm and the heat mild. Paros lies as a neighbour just one ferry ride away and suits a day or two nights, but for peace and quiet one island is often enough. If you limit yourself to Naxos, you have time to visit the villages in the interior instead of commuting between harbours.
Island Escapes discusses in a video call which region of the island suits you.
