Beautiful island… beaches and mountains… delicious food and warm people! It’s one of those places you never wanna leave and if you leave, you definitely want to go back again!

The island is so beautiful Top experience It’s worth it If you are an explorer then this island is for you

Naxos Island is one of the places you must visit, a beautiful place with friendly local people and delicious food. My 6 days in Naxos Island and really enjoyed my holiday in October🥰🧿

I love this island, is my favorite among the Cyclades so far, naturally beautiful but its greatest asset is its wonderful, kind people

Beautiful island with beautiful beaches and clear water. For help everyone can ask me where to stay and eat. Please avoid to rent a car if you live in centre because they don't have parking space. When you need just go and rent a car. Please remember that the car must be dry inside because they will charge you 200 euro. But is great place for families and couples.

If you are looking for amazing beaches, good food and a decent Aegean/Cycladic island with lots of deceivers.. look no further!

Huge island with no infrastructure to cope with so many people and vehicles, especially during August. Horrible roads, not enough signs , locals with dead wish, driving reckless and no sign of police. Urban sprawl and debris in the open fields complete the scenery. Pity, cause the island could be a paradise with some effort.

Free entrance to this beautiful monument placed just close to the main city. A lot of people during sunset but manageable. It is a amall hike to get to the top, but most should be able to do it.

A beautiful Portara on Naxos, located out on a small rocky islet connected to the mainland by a easy walkable path. Beautiful view looking back at the town and port. I wanted to make it out for sunset, but it was cloudy. A definite must do when in Naxos.

Beautiful site. Best seen during the day if you want to avoid crowds. However, the sunset there is stunning if you’re happy to share the space with a large crowd 👌 the site is free which is great and is literal only a few minutes from the port and a plethora of restaurants and the Venetian castle which is also stunning

Beautiful temple remains, look absolutely stunning lit up at night (and you miss the crowds). Nice manageable steps and path, though it gets a bit slippery in the rain. Great views back into the town as well.

If you’re in Naxos, this is definitely a must-visit. The view from the temple is absolutely mesmerizing—worth every step. The whole visit doesn’t take more than 15 minutes, but the breathtaking scenery makes it unforgettable. Standing there, overlooking the sea, you can almost hear your own heartbeat.

Come here at sunset, like all the other tourists. (If the weather is good.) It's a must see, must do experience. The golden light makes the stone glow. Somewhere in the large crowd on the day of our visit, an unknown disrespectful idiot was flying a drone above the Portara. Please stay home with your drone. And don't pretend to be Hercules and pick up a large stone like someone did recently. The Temple of Apollo may be unfinished except for this Portara, but let it be as it is. Please.

Obviously very crowded during sunset. The views are nice but you can find many more better places on the island to enjoy same views. The temple is surrounded by high and ugly fence which is visible on all pictures. Pity not many descriptions exist or I simply missed them in the crowd.

Pretty neat place, We came during off season so none of the insides were open to see. It was a cool experience walking around the streets and seeing all the old architecture.

Great place to visit in Naxos. I went here at the recommendation of a friend and it’s a sprawling area with some little shops and a museum and cute little alleyways. Up some amount of stairs but not difficult to get to at all.

The town was built around the castle as a maze to fend off pirates. There are tiny doors and windows as you walk around the castle and some ruins to show how they protected their belongings and is fascinating to walk around.

Nice place,now they make reconstruction,have view from the top to all city,sea and Apolon door

The castle is currently in renovations and only the kitchen is visible plus a few items from the castle.

The walk up to the castle is really cool.

It's there but If nobody told you you wouldn't know it. This former Venetian castle has been integrated into the fabric of the city so much that you can no longer tell it apart from private dwellings. The castle itself isn't very special. If you've seen castles before this one will rank low on your list. It is free to enter though and there is a swanky bar at the very top that provides a nice view of the town and harbor.

Amazing restaurant highly recommend !! We made a reservation for this restaurant our last day in the island. The food is amazing, the service was above and beyond, and we even got a limoncello sorbet on the house. Definitely recommend having a reservation. We thankfully made one, there was a line of people waiting when we got there. We ordered the Dolmades, Zucchini Balls, Stifado (rabbit), and Sikoti (beef liver). Portions of the main entree are big. All of them were amazing, definitely recommend the Zucchini Balls, super tasty !

Wow what a treat this meal was!! Such a warm welcome from the staff - great service, so much fun. The food itself - absolutely delicious. I will think about that beef with orzo for a long time, but everything was just delicious. Thankyou for having us!! Hope to return.

We stopped in without a reservation and had to wait less than 15 minutes to get a table street side. The service was so quick and courteous. We asked for their opinions on how much to order if we wanted to share everything and were immensely satiated. We got vinegar octopus (cold dish), an arugula salad with balsamic glaze and Naxian cheese which was delicious, and the moussaka that we ate so quickly that we didn’t get a picture 😅

An exceptional meal - my favourite from three weeks in Greece. I had the fava, dolmades, and shrimp orzo - they were all incredible, but the orzo was particularly outstanding. Friendly and attentive service too!

Everything we ordered was super tasty and absolutely delicious! The shrimp orzo was packed with flavour. We finished off with the baklava, which was the perfect ending to the meal: sweet, flaky, and just the right amount of richness. Highly recommend! Book in advance to avoid the queue

Excellent food and service. Location is great. Just off main tourist spots. Easy to find. Great people watching while you eat some great Greek food.

Came here 2 nights in a row because it was so good! Gluten free options available on the menu. So delicious, highly recommend!! Best to reserve a table in advance or else you might miss out.

We had an early reservation and watched as the place quickly filled around us. The lanterns above made for a beautiful atmosphere. Our server was attentive and helpful to several allergies in our party. Cocktails were delicious as was the food- the Aegean spritz and Greek salad were my favorites!

We accidently stumbled across this place strolling through the market. What a vibe. The hot bread they serve with the soup to her your taste buds going is a nice touch I had the pork chop and mum had the prawn pasta. Delicious. The highlight was the dessert ! Mille Fuelle wow

Last night, we dined at Apostolis restaurant in the charming old town of Chora. The courtyard seating, nestled among traditional homes, created a cozy and picturesque ambiance. Gas flame heaters and beautifully strung lights added warmth and charm, making it the perfect setting under the night sky. From the moment we sat down, the hospitality was exceptional. We were welcomed with complimentary bread, veggie soup and cheese, a delightful start to the meal. Our appetizer—lamb wrapped in phyllo—was rich and flavorful, setting the tone for the mains: fish with orzo and shrimp pasta, both cooked to perfection. Everything was paired wonderfully with their house wine, which complemented the dishes beautifully. To top it all off, they surprised us with dessert: a warm, flaky baklava served with ice cream. It was the perfect sweet ending to an unforgettable evening.

My only regret is not coming hungrier! The dolmathakia were delicious. These ones came with meat in them, unlike many others. We also ordered the fish and a chickpea salad, both of which were excellent!

We made reservation for our dinner which was fantastic!!! The atmosphere had this Greek island magic , the food was amazing and so tasty, the service was very professional ... Definitely we will go again and again !!! At the end we had dessert " Pavlova" which was refreshing and a nice closer of our beautiful night ❣️

Good: The fish fillet was grilled to perfection, with a buttery Orzo. Lovely little pumpkin soup & bread as a starter. Bad: As a solo dinner, I definitely felt the contempt from the staff. Seated in a corner at the end of establishment (near the store room), often ignored & whilst I appreciate it is always a busy time of day for service (I’ve worked in hospo and the dinner rush is a killer), I was definitely made to feel as just a “Visa card on legs”. I observed they often engaged in warm and friendly conversation with tables of 2 or more. Me? God forbid I got a smile. And before one gets attacked on the internet; I am polite, respectful (no I didn’t have a reservation and was happy to wait / told them to not worry and I’ll wait for table etc),and try my very best to speak Greek at all times. I’m in a different country, why not blend in? Tourist trap? Definitely. For solo diners? No.

The best restaurant in Naxos! We liked it so much, we went twice during our holiday. Tasty food, super friendly staff, and a relaxed vibe. And whatever you do, don’t skip the desserts!

Probably the best meal we’ve had in Naxos. The quality of the food was fresh and unique, and even though some flavor pairings were hit or miss, the execution and the originality made it an interesting experience. The service was accommodating, fast, and kind. Island time is usually slow but Barozzi was prompt. The atmosphere is gorgeous and the resutarant was clean and classy.

What an amazing dining experience. We got the 5-course meal plus wine pairing with 6 wines and were thoroughly impressed. Each dish had some serious attention to detail and brought a new spin to some classics like a Greek salad. The highlight of the meal for us was the goat which was melt in your mouth good. We each got a different wine pairing too which I would recommend as it gave us around 10 different wines from across Greece to try. Don’t worry about the price, it’s all well worth it!

Not often you are wondering the streets of a foreign island looking for something to eat (nothing special, just local fresh food), and you come across a true hidden gem. The restaurant itself looks like an art gallery, very modern with an elegant touch, simply put a very pleasant place to be (regardless of the exquisite meal that’s coming ahead). The service was fenomenal. Gave us very good wine recommendations and were very accommodating with my nut allergy (I have been to places where the chef would not alter his/her creations and you would simply need to skip the dish). They only serve Greek products (from the bread, to the olive oil, to the wine and the raw materials that make every single dish), and I must say they surpassed all expectations. The wine menu (while only offering Greek options), was varied and quite original. We started with an Orange wine (refreshing and crisp - Kind of a mix between white and rose with a light citrus touch), and continued with a delicious Syrah (very flavourful - one glass was enough for the full meal, and kept the flavour pretty well). The food was extraordinary (top 10-15 I have had in the world). We went with the 7 course tasting menu, which was the best decision we could have possibly made. An image is worth a thousand words (so see a pic of each dish). The key highlight was how the chef was able to create an incredible “espuma” that accompanied several dishes, which was very light and at the same time incredibly tasty. A mix between foam and purée (I am calling it foamée). Surprisingly, the restaurant hasn’t been caught by the Michelin guide and is yet to be awarded at least 1 very well deserve star! It was a perfect unexpected experience which makes it even more memorable. Worth the trip to Naxos just to try this place. We will be back!

While food look pretty. Most of the dishes has fundamental critical errors when eating. Makes a lot sense y why the restaurant was so empty on a Friday night. I sound like such a hater, but appearance cannot compensate for bad flavors. Spent $259+ after tip. Just spend that money on Elliniko, so much more worth it.

The service is excellent. The food were very creative and presentation was well done! We both enjoyed this fine dinning experience, appreciated the pace on the food delivery, as they always arrive at the right moment. We ordered 2 different 5-courses meal, they delivered 8 dishes to us(3desserts in total). Thank you so much!! It started with Amuse bouche (very tasty), We LOVE the Naxian Beef, Grilled Squid, Slow Roasted Goat (so soft!), they are all must try!!! The dessert was amazing, it brought a perfect ending to the meal. Wine was very very good as well. It definitely worth the money!

Amazing dinner in Naxos! Everyone was extremely knowledgeable and helpful for dishes and wine pairings. Beautiful space and decor. Truly representative of the Naxos terroir and cuisine. One of the best meals we have had in Greece.

Excellent and creative Chef, mastermind behind the Menu of Barozzi Restaurant. Haute cuisine indeed. Traditional recipes with a modern and stylish approach gives and describes the distinctive character of the menu. Aegean Cuisine, with local products and a most creative twist for sure , combined with a Variety of Carefully Selected Wines and Drinks in the most Relaxed Atmosphere create the most special Dining Experience. The Popular BarTender, has composed exclusively for Barozzi Restaurant the most prestigious House Drinks always served with precision and style. Established on July 2017, in Naxos island, it instantly became a top destination for food lovers!

Nice environment with trees (which should be shaken in order the old leaves not to fall on the plates if you sit below) The food was average compared to the other restaurants we tried and OVERPRICED. We ordered chicken ala crem and normal one which was burned on the outside as you can see in the photo. The quantity was okay. Wouldn't recommend to my peers unfortunately however I do appreciate the service which was fast and that the food was okay.

This place was suggested by our hotel owner and the car rental company as one of the best restaurants in town with a bit of fine dining cuisine. The restaurant is located in a really nice spot, the staff is friendly and the atmosphere really good. The food was presented nicely but the taste was not as expected. Due to our high expectations I gave 3 stars instead of 4.

The location is decent at the heart of the Chora with nice trees and tables scattered around. The service is fast and helpful. I cannot for the life of me believe the prices in the catalog but also the price to portion size or quality taste. Although this is subjective of course the dishes were nothing short of disappointing and the portions were small for the crazy inflated prices. I believe there are far better alternatives with the only redeeming quality here being the vibe of the location which does not transfer to all the available tables as some can be just against a wall.

We had a beautiful dinner at this place. Lamb with herbs and lemon sauce was amazing. Good service and super cozy environment.

We had been here seven years ago - and back then, it was amazing. This time, in July 2025, we were really disappointed. The place is nice - in the midst of Chora (with some tables offering a glimpse of the Sea or even a nice sunset). The service is very friendly. But the food was way better some years ago - we had quite standard food for a much too high price. Especially the fish we had was not worth the price. All the creativity which once marked the cooking seems to have been lost ... Or we ordered the wrong things ...

The location is fantastic, the service is friendly, and the staff are polite. However, the food portions are quite small and overpriced — understandable, given the central location. Unfortunately, the steak was undercooked and there was a mix-up with the side dishes, which only arrived after we had finished eating. While dining down at the port might not offer the same level of service or presentation, at least you leave feeling full and satisfied, without needing to search for a second meal.

Slow service, cold food like saganaki and fish no taste. Long time waiting for food to arrive. No one asked if we liked our food or we need anything else. This place was suggested by our hotel owner as one of the best restaurants in town .The restaurant is located in a really nice spot, the staff is friendly and the atmosphere good. The food was presented nicely but the taste was not as expected.

Had my final dinner on Naxos here right next to my hotel. Simply chose a dish with cooking paper wrapping some meat and potato to cook, some bread and half liter of wine. Over estimated myself as I still had to pack later the night, and I was a bit too tipsy to do it efficiently afterward. The dish tasted fine, and it was lovely seasoned to the spot.

An excellent experience at Meltemi. The beet salad was superb. Eggplant fans, we had the special moussaka, baked in a ceramnic pot, and the kalogiros with veal, Naxian gruyere and bechamel on top. Try their own bottled Meltemi wine, an agiorgitiko, which was good at 20 euros for 750ml.

Wonderful, authentic restaurant that offers lots of different traditional dishes. Prompt and friendly service, and we loved the ambience on the outdoor terrace. The orange cake for dessert is incredible!

During our first dinner there I had the stuffed tomatoes with rice and spices with potatoes appetizer for my main meal and a tomato and cucumber salad with olives capers and red onions. It was quite good. They had a few other vegan options on the menu including a roasted vegetable dish(Briam), roasted eggplants and many salads. However, I gave 3 stars instead of 4 because tonight we got take away since my husband was sick and ordered the green salad, which was great, ( should have gotten two) and the rocket Parmesan salad and when we got home the "rocket Parmesan salad" was boiled unseasoned greens" . I assume the put the wrong order in the bag as it was supposed to contain lettuce, Parmesan, sundried tomatoes, croutons, olives, capers, and balsamic. So perhaps just check your container before leaving. Too bad as it sounded good 🫤.

Had a ‘snack’ and a beer coming off of the beach today. Very friendly service and excellent food, we just had some bread olives and a sharing platter, but it was excellent.

I'm surprised this place doesn't have a higher rating on Google. We had one of our best meals in Naxos here. Food was delicious and the service was punctual and friendly. The atmosphere here is really nice.

The staff are very happy and friendly, they are smiley and helpful. I ordered Maria’s chicken and fell in love! Searching for the recipe now. Authentic cuisine. Good atmosphere. All round nice experience 👍
