Closest and nicest beach on Naxos Town is the beach of Agios Georgios (Saint George). It is usually a crowded beach with lovely tavernas literally on the sand and a few bar-café to enjoy breakfast or a late evening drink.

You will find umbrellas and sunbeds in a large part of the beach as well as a famous sport club towards its end, where you can enjoy your favorite sports or take surfing lessons. The beach os Saint George is perhaps the most popular in the island of Naxos.

There are two major attractions that make the capital of Naxos island perhaps the most interesting among all other capitals in the Cyclades and these are the Portara Temple and the Castle.

There are very few hotels in the castle area, some of which have preserved the traditional architecture of the area. The castle gathers a lot of people during summer season as many festivals and exhibitions take place there. Well known bands and artists from all over the world come to play in this mystique environment while many painters and sculptors choose to exhibit their creations there.

No cars are allowed there, so the environment is very relaxing and quiet. There are many shops in the castle area, jewllery shops, local product shops as well as traditional tavernas and small bar-café.

The Archaeological Museum of Naxos is located there. You do not want to miss this; the exhibits of ancient Cycladic art will amaze you.

The port is within a few steps from the castle; in fact, access is so easy that many people select to stay there. Local bus terminal and taxi terminals are within a short walking distance. Enjoy Naxos Town, even for a walk; you will not regret it.
