Consejos para la ciudad
Cómo moverse
Hiring a car is highly recommended
Wander on foot in the centre of Naxos, so as to be able to visit and see all those considered "must-visit".
Naxos is the biggest island of the Cyclades some days are demanded to tour around. It is highly recommended to hire a car, in order to get out, explore and visit some of its mountainous villages and beaches that are off-the-beaten-track, which are going to captivate your attention. Buses can be really challenging, especially during the high season.
If you like to rent a car, I can recommend you some of the most value for money companies, do not hesitate to text me.
Qué empacar
Pack beach gear
While there are many Naxos things to do beyond the beach, you’ll definitely want to set aside some time for splashing in the waves and enjoying the bright sun. When you’re packing for Greece, make sure to include your swimsuit, some sunscreen, and a travel towel (unless your hotel provides them or you don’t mind renting). Some of the resort towns will have beach gear shops for anything you forget at home.
It is definitely necessary to carry your sunscreen and a hat with you, beacause sun that beats in the summer is strong enough and you do not want to get a sunburn in your vacations.
