Ammos & Lithos — Luxury Living, Naxos

∞ Naxos

The Villa

Where Cycladic
architecture breathes

Ammos & Lithos — sand and stone — is more than a name. It is the essence of this place: the cool stone underfoot, the warm sand a few minutes' walk away, and the unhurried rhythm of island life.

Designed in the pure Cycladic tradition — whitewashed walls, timber pergola, open terraces — the villa sits in Kastraki, on Naxos's breathtaking west coast, facing Paros across the water.

Beaches

The sea

Naxos has some of the finest beaches in the Cyclades — long, sandy, and far less crowded than Mykonos or Santorini. Most are on the west coast, facing Paros, and easy to reach. The east coast is wilder and worth the drive. Below is our selection, sorted by distance from the villa. For the full picture, Greeka.com has an excellent overview of 30+ beaches with maps and descriptions.

4 min drive · 1.5 km

Glyfada

SecludedWindsurfingNever crowded

Your closest beach — a long stretch of fine sand that stays quiet even in peak season. The sea gets rougher on windy days, making it a favourite for kitesurfers.

Maragas

Family friendlyTaverna on the beach

Right next to Paradiso taverna — one of our favourite spots on the island. Long, picturesque beach with soft sand and crystal water, calmer than the resorts to the north.

~8 min drive

Kastraki

SecludedCrystal waterWhite sand

Enchanting beach on the southern side of the island. Crystal waters and white sand, and — surprisingly — it rarely gets busy.

Mikri Vigla

WindsurfingKitesurfingFamily (Sahara side)

Two beaches in one: the north-facing Parthena side is the windsurfing and kitesurfing hub of Naxos. The southern Sahara (Limanakia) side is sheltered, calm, and perfect for families and children.

Orkos & Plaka

Long & sandyDunesView of Paros

Plaka is the longest beach on the island — sprawling white sand with dunes behind it and a view of Paros. Orkos sits just next to it, quieter and equally beautiful.

Agios Georgios

With kidsShallow waterBy Chora

The main town beach — right next to Chora, so you can combine beach with a stroll through the old town. Very shallow bay, ideal for small children. Organised with facilities.

Greeka Directions

53 min drive · 35 km · East coast

Moutsouna, Psili Ammos & Panermos

SpectacularWildSecludedSnorkellingUnforgettable

SPECTACULAR. If you do one thing on the island, make it a day trip to the east coast. Moutsouna and Psili Ammos are a completely different world — wild, untouched, and almost deserted even in August. The drive through the island's interior (mountain villages, ancient temples) is itself worth the trip. Allow a full day.

Dining

Naxos at the table

Naxos grows most of what it eats — vegetables, meat, dairy. These are places where you simply cannot go wrong, whatever you order.

2 min walk · Kastraki beach

Blue Lagoon

€€

Right next door — on the beach in Kastraki with beautiful sea views. Family friendly, relaxed atmosphere. A perfect spot for lunch after a swim.

Paradise Tavern

€

Under tamarisk trees, a few metres from the sea. Simple, honest Greek food at reasonable prices — great setting for a sunset dinner.

1 min drive · Kastraki

Apolafsi

€€

Good traditional food, a 7-minute walk or 1-minute drive away. Gets busy in peak summer and the service is affected — worth knowing before you go. "Enjoyment, delight" — the name says it all.

9 min drive · Mikri Vigla

Stelios

€

Family-run traditional Greek restaurant with great quality-to-price ratio. The veal steak (brizola moscharisia) is top notch. Maria and Giorgos are fantastic hosts — the kind of place you return to every trip.

20–25 min drive · Maragas Beach

Paradiso

€€

Right on Maragas beach — one of the most beautiful settings on the island. Family-run, generous portions, unbeatable price-to-quality. We've been coming back for over 10 years and it never disappoints. The fried zucchini alone is worth the drive.

20–25 min drive · Naxos Town

Sarris Tavern

€€

The best fish on the west coast, full stop. The psarosoupa (fish soup) is legendary. A contained menu where every dish is excellent.

20–25 min drive · Marina

Dal Professore

€€€

Italian-inspired cuisine with a Greek soul, overlooking the marina with breathtaking sunsets. An exceptional wine list to match. Pricier, but worth it.

To Pareaki

€€

Est. 1958, third-generation family-run taverna. Hosts Vaso and Demetra are absolutely delightful — together with their husbands and grandma Katerina in the kitchen, it's as close as it gets to eating at home. They'll make you feel part of the family. If Katerina cooks the Imam (ask with feta!), it's a must — so good it's a curse. The mushroom risotto is incredible, and the grilled calamari is the best you'll find anywhere.

ΝΆΞΟΣ

The Island

Five thousand years
in the making

The largest of the Cyclades has been inhabited continuously since the late neolithic period. As you explore Naxos, you trace the footsteps of many peoples before us — each layer still visible in the landscape.

~3,000 BC

Late Neolithic and Cycladic civilisation — giant Kouros statues carved from Naxian marble, still standing today across the island

~500 BC

Classical period — the Portara, the great marble gateway of the unfinished Temple of Apollo, still guards the island's harbour

Byzantine

Over 200 Byzantine churches remain scattered across the island, many still in active use today

Venetian

The Kastro of Naxos Town and the magnificent Bazeos Tower — a proud heritage of Venetian occupation that shaped the island's character
