Naxos, and Greece in general, is a family-friendly vacation choice as children are always welcome to be part of the holiday fun. Ideal for kids are the island’s many safe, sandy beaches and crystal clear waters that make for perfect sandcastle making conditions.
Naxos’s ancient monuments and castles serve as the perfect backdrop to get the kids inspired. School children and adults, too, are always amazed to learn about the mythical legends and see ancient temples and columns they have read about in storybooks up close.
And that’s not all.
