8Naxos – The All-Rounder

Naxos is the largest island in the Cyclades and offers a mix of sandy beaches, historical sites, and mountainous landscapes. 

Families and adventurers alike will love its long stretches of sand, such as Agios Prokopios and Plaka Beach. Naxos is also steeped in history, with landmarks like the Portara (a giant marble doorway) and the Venetian castle in the capital, Chora.
