2Naxos – Active Villages and Festivals

Naxos, the largest of the Cyclades, is another island that stays lively after summer. Its villages remain active, local markets bustle, and many tavernas continue to serve seasonal dishes. Naxos is known for its agriculture, so autumn is harvest time for grapes, citrus fruits, and potatoes.

During fall, the island hosts traditional festivals celebrating local foods, music, and crafts. The main town, Chora, remains animated with restaurants and cafes open for visitors. Additionally, outdoor activities like hiking Mount Zas, exploring ancient temples, or cycling through the countryside are ideal in the cooler fall weather. Naxos offers the perfect balance of off-season calm and island activity.
