It was back in the 1960s when the first tourists started to come on Naxos, the greenest and one of the most beautiful among the Cyclades islands. Then, the tourist facilities were not that developed as today and you could see only a few Naxos hotels scattered here and there. Of course, these Naxos hotels could not have the modern comforts and it would certainly be more difficult for foreigners to communicate with the locals, but still the beauty of Naxos would attract more and more visitors.
Today, things with Naxos hotels and tourism in general are more organized and easier for tourists, although the island still keeps its authentic charm. The long and sandy beaches, the mountainous villages, the welcoming people, the green nature and the rural life of the locals amaze modern visitors, who have not been used in this kind of lifestyle in the big, busy cities they live in.
You can find wonderful Naxos hotels or rooms to rent in every part of the island: in the most popular or quiet beach, in a seaside or mountainous village, in the capital or a remote village somewhere in the countryside. Most Naxos hotels have been built according to the traditional Cycladic architecture and match perfectly to the ambience of the island.
Depending on the class and the location, Naxos hotels differ in the amenities they offer to their guests. Some Naxos hotels actually consist of simple yet clean rooms to rent and have no special facilities to offer, except for a wonderful view and a delicious breakfast.
However, there are also other Naxos hotels to compete with international standards of luxury and comfort. These Naxos hotels have all the modern amenities: from large pools and pool bars, wonderful restaurants and kind staff to free transportation from the port/ airport to the hotel at your arrival or theme parties with traditional Greek music and food. These theme parties organized by Naxos hotels frequently address not only to guests but also to other tourists, too, who want to participate.
It is also very common that certain Naxos hotels organize trips and excursions for their guests. Naxos has so many beauties to offer visitors that any trip you choose will leave with the best memories. All Naxos hotels give special attention to the historical monuments on the island, including the impressive Portara right at the entrance of the port in Chora, the two statues of Kouros laid on the actual sites where they were found, the temple of Demeter close to Sangri village, the remains of the sanctuary of Dionysus, the amazing Venetian towers that survive till today and so many other monuments to depict the rich culture of Naxos.Do not hesitate to ask your Naxos hotels for a map or guides on how to get around and visit all these amazing sites at your own. You can also ask your Naxos hotels to book you a car for a couple of days to move around easier. The staff of all Naxos hotels will be happy to help you discover their beloved island.
