Best Airbnbs in Naxos

Naxos rewards independence. The island is large enough for one stay to feel completely different from another: a stone house above Chora, a studio beside Agios Prokopios or a restored tower among the orchards inland. This edit of the best Airbnbs in Naxos favours homes with a clear relationship to their setting. Some offer architecture and space; others earn their place through direct access to the sea. Most work best with a car and a willingness to shop, cook and explore independently. These are homes for inhabiting Naxos, not simply looking at it from a terrace.

best for

• Travellers who value privacy and independence

• Private pools and outdoor kitchens

• Longer stays with more living space

• Exploring Naxos beyond the main resorts

skip if

• You want daily housekeeping and reception

• Driving on holiday feels like work

• A hotel restaurant is essential

Why book an Airbnb in Naxos?

A private rental makes particular sense on an island this geographically varied. It allows you to stay above a kitesurfing beach, inside the lanes of Chora or near villages rarely visited on a day trip. Kitchens are useful when bakeries, farm shops and roadside fruit stalls become part of the drive, while terraces and pools give groups somewhere to gather without negotiating shared hotel space. The trade-off is practical: remote homes require provisions, coastal roads take time and service varies considerably. Choose carefully, hire a car when the location demands it and the reward is a version of Naxos shaped around your own day.

Hotels

Avali Deluxe Suite II

2 guests // Studio // 2 beds // 1 bathroom

Why stay here

Avali reduces the beach stay to its useful parts. The studio stands only metres from Agios Prokopios, with a private terrace facing the water and an outdoor kitchenette suited to breakfast and simple lunches. The room itself remains compact, organised around a king bed and a sea-facing shower. Restaurants line the shore within walking distance, so a car is optional rather than essential. Agios Prokopios can become busy in summer, but waking this close to the water allows an early swim before the beach settles into its organised daytime rhythm.

Best for

Couples, car-free beach stays and travellers who intend to swim before breakfast.

Evdokia-Comfort Olive Yard apartment

4 guests // 1 bedroom // 3 beds // 1 bathroom

Why stay here

Evdokia sits above an olive yard near Kleido, on the remote south-eastern edge of Naxos. The apartment is plain and practical, with a kitchen and private terrace looking across the Aegean towards Koufonisia. This is not the polished side of island travel. Shops are limited, roads take time and arriving with provisions is sensible. In return, Psili Ammos, Panermos and the fishing port at Moutsouna become part of the stay rather than ambitious day trips. Choose it for the position and horizon, not for decorative excess or an extensive list of services.

Best for

Remote coastal drives, self-sufficient travellers and mornings facing the eastern Aegean.

Island Tower House

8 guests // 4 bedrooms // 5 beds // 3 bathrooms

Why stay here

This late nineteenth-century tower house stands in Galini, north of Chora, surrounded by orchards and village country rather than holiday development. Its restoration keeps the stone walls, limewashed curves and antique furniture, with three levels opening onto broad verandas. Separate bedroom entrances give a group useful independence, while the pool and cobbled garden provide a common centre. Breakfast among the trees can be arranged through the family. A car is necessary, but that distance brings access to village tavernas, northern beaches and a side of Naxos rarely seen from Plaka.

Best for

Groups of friends, family, heritage architecture and travellers willing to exchange beach frontage for village life.

Deluxe King Studio

4 guests // Studio // 2 beds // 1 bathroom

Why stay here

Stoa places apartment independence inside the Kastro quarter, where stone arches and steep lanes preserve the older structure of Naxos Town. The studio fits a king bed, sofa bed and compact kitchenette into one space, with pale timber and white plaster preventing the historic shell from feeling heavy. Its private terrace looks towards the sea and rooftops below. The harbour, Portara, restaurants and Agios Georgios are all reached on foot. Four guests would find the arrangement close; for two, it offers an unusually atmospheric old-town base without the need to hire a car.

Best for

Couples, short stays and travellers who want to experience Chora entirely on foot.

Eye of Naxos Villa

6 guests // 2 bedrooms // 3 beds // 1 bathroom

Why stay here

Eye of Naxos earns its name from a hillside position above Chora, where the town, sea and western horizon spread beneath the terrace. Pale stone and natural textures keep the interiors straightforward, but the house is primarily about outdoor life. The pool, shower and dining space take over once the sun appears. Chora remains close enough for dinner and supplies, while the elevation provides distance from the port’s movement. One bathroom for six guests requires some cooperation, but the view and proximity to town make a persuasive case for couples or a small group.

Best for

Chora access, private-pool afternoons and small groups who prioritise the view.

Naxea Villas II

8 guests // 3 bedrooms // 4 beds // 3.5 bathrooms

Why stay here

Naxea Villas II sits above Orkos in the stretch of coast between Plaka and Mikri Vigla. Marathon stone floors, a hand-reeded ceiling and an oak dining table give the three-level house more substance than the usual white-on-white villa. Each ensuite bedroom opens onto its own terrace, which allows a group to share the house without surrendering privacy. The pool and outdoor dining area face west towards Paros, while Orkos and Parthena beaches can be reached below. It works particularly well for travellers dividing their time between swimming, kitesurfing and long dinners at home.

Best for

Groups of friends, sunset terraces and beach days around Orkos and Mikri Vigla.

Petrino Beach & Restaurant

Petrino sits on Plaka with a softer, more polished energy than the usual beach taverna. The kitchen leans more creative, but not in a way that feels detached from the island. It still belongs to the setting. Naxos restaurants can sometimes split between simple and styled, and Petrino lands somewhere convincing in the middle.

Airbnbs or boutique hotels in Naxos?

The Airbnb edit is stronger when space, privacy and location matter more than service. It reaches into village country, remote coastlines and hillside settings where conventional hotels are scarce, while kitchens make longer stays easier. The Revel Stay edit of Boutique Hotels in Naxos offers a more supported experience, with breakfast, housekeeping and hosts who can solve the practical details of a large island. Choose an Airbnb when you want the house and daily independence to shape the trip. Choose a boutique hotel when you would rather explore freely and return to someone else handling the rest.
