![]() ![]() Breakfast (which is included in your room rate) is served in your room or in their delicious restaurant Tortuga just steps away from the beach. All ten rooms have stunning oceanfront views and while the rooms are minimal, they include high end touches like steam showers and private outdoor sitting areas (some even have their own plunge pool). Naxian on the Beach is a luxury boutique hotel that sits directly on the beautiful Plaka Beach, a short 15 minute drive to the main city of Naxos Town. While we only stayed in one hotel, we did extensive research prior to the trip and also visited other hotels for dinner. Naxos is still one of Greeks’ best kept secrets so there are not yet luxury hotels or 5-star resorts, however, you can find amazing boutique hotels right on some of the best beaches in the world. ![]() If you pay 10-15 Euro more, upgrade to business class for a pleasant experience. Naxos by Ferry: Taking the ferry is an easy option between any of the islands. Flights are limited as the airport is small (but very cute). ![]() Naxos by Flight: We took a short 40 minute flight from Athens to Naxos. Rich in agriculture, with gorgeous fruit and olive trees, majestic mountains and fields, and quaint fishing villages, this is the kind of place made for both those seeking the sun and beautiful beaches, but also those who want to experience the culture and nature that the Greek Isles have to offer. Just a short ferry ride away from Santorini and Mykonos, we found Naxos to be refreshingly untouched by tourism (much less so than Paros even) and a great spot to get a cultural and natural feel for Greece.

This way you don't have to worry about finding space in the kennels and you and your dog or cat can relax. They are also available for day crossings at reasonable prices. These are like normal cabins but have linoleum flooring. The other option, for absolute peace of mind, is to book a pet cabin. Small sized dogs and cats can travel in the ship as long as they stay inside a special travel box. Strictly speaking, this at the discretion of the ferry company but in general you should have no issues - though please take a muzzle with you just in case and keep your dog on a leash at all times. If you are travelling on conventional ferry (not a fast ferry or catamaran) there is normally space available in the kennels and you should also be able to have your dog on all deck areas (but not inside) with you. All Greek ships by law must have some kennel space. Yes, you can take your dog or other pet on the ferry but it isn't possible to book a space in the kennel in advance. ![]()
