4Cultural Festivals and Local Traditions

Tourists often miss the rich calendar of cultural events that take place outside summer. In winter and early spring, Naxos celebrates Carnival with masquerades, feasts, and lively music in the streets.

Easter is another highlight, when villages light bonfires, prepare traditional pastries, and host communal celebrations. Attending one of these events allows you to witness the island’s cultural heart, where customs and community spirit shine brightest.
