Besides, everyone is unique and will want to do different things, from hiking and visiting monuments to simply resting in the sun and enjoying some quality couple time.
Because of this, let’s dive into the list of the best areas of Naxos for honeymooners and couples!
THE BEST place to stay in Naxos for honeymoon: Plaka
Plaka is the longest beach in Naxos, spreading over 4 km / 2 mi! It is a very clean and calm beach and has pristine water.
If you are traveling to Naxos with your special someone, Plaka is definitely your safest pick. Not only is it ideal to have a wide, peaceful, and amazing beach for both of you, but the area also has many great hotels to offer, with a lot of conveniences and cozy rooms.
On top of that, you will find many restaurants, shops, and bars. From fancy hotels to affordable stays, everything you need is in Plaka.

Where to Stay in Plaka
There is no better place in all of Naxos for couples than Plaka. Both of you will enjoy the beach, the peacefulness, and the vast choice of facilities, from shops to local restaurants.
Whether your budget is tight, you want to make your trip memorable, or simply cannot pick an option, here are my personal advice and my top 3 picks:
✅ Best Hotel: Archon Seaside Retreat
If you are having a hard time picking from the options of hotels in Plaka, I would just go for Archon Seaside Retreat if I were you. It is very close to the sea and has a permanently open reception and a beautiful, large outdoor swimming pool.
This hotel has a free parking spot, but you can also find car or bike rental sites in the vicinity, which is ideal for a lovely couple’s trip in the wild.
✨ Luxury Choice: Sea & Olives Villas and Suites
Do you want to be at ease, enjoy your trip, and relax in a comfortable hotel? Then Sea & Olives Villas and Suites should be your go-to!
This wonderful hotel is located very close to the sea and offers a stunning sight. It is entirely equipped with any convenience you could ever imagine, has a private parking spot and a large outdoor swimming pool, and is located very close to the Naxos airport, but you won’t be bothered by the noise.
💰 Budget Pick: Blue Harmony Apartments
Is your budget your #1 concern? Don’t worry, even in Plaka, you can safely enjoy your stay at Blue Harmony Apartments. It is located on the beachfront, very close to the famous Plaka Beach, and offers a large balcony and a homemade breakfast, all at a very affordable price.
This hotel is also perfect for couples, being located in a calm area and having an entirely equipped kitchen as well as Wi-Fi and a connected TV.
Runner up Naxos honeymoon area: Agia Anna
Agia Anna is one of the most picturesque areas of the island of Naxos. It is a small, little-developed fishing village, but still has all the facilities you need, even for a longer stay. Don’t worry, Agia Anna is still a beach resort, and you can also enjoy the beautiful waters of Naxos.
Couples will particularly appreciate Agia Anna because it is located 6 km / 3.7 mi from Naxos Chora, the most active area of the island, but is much more peaceful. Agia Anna has long, sandy beaches and even water sports, as well as a large choice of accommodations, from low-rise apartments to beachfront hotels.
Whether you want to connect more with locals or escape in a paradisiacal area with your loved one, Agia Anna is the place to go.
Beach resort
Boat trips
Typical village
Peaceful area
Nothing to visit
A bit far from the capital
Where to Stay in Agia Anna
As said above, Agia Anna is another best place to stay in Naxos for couples. It is a peaceful, typical, and beautiful Greek village in which locals are much more accessible than in the bustling city of Naxos Chora. Besides, walks and hikes are also possible, although the amazing beach is very tempting…
But the big question that remains is, where to stay? Which hotel is the best? What compromise should we make? Well, here are the answers:
✅ Best Hotel: Stella Naxos Island
If you simply cannot pick one specific hotel but you definitely want to go to Agia Anna, just pick Stella Naxos Island, you cannot go wrong with it.
This accommodation is literally 1 minute away from the beach and is situated in a verdant area. The rooms are independent, the reception is constantly open, and it is located in the best neighborhood of Agia Anna according to travelers. Besides, couples particularly love it, and they give this hotel an exceptional note of 9.9/10!
✨ Luxury Choice: Ktima Lino
If money is not a problem and you just want to spend the best possible stay in Agia Anna with your loved one, I advise you to go for Ktima Lino.
This luxury hotel is located 5 minutes away from the beach but is a large, independent building. It is particularly loved by couples, has a large outdoor swimming pool, and is overall very clean and high standard.
💰 Budget Pick: Kapares Studios
Not all couples can afford the fanciest of hotels, and some would rather visit multiple cities for a bit rather than spend a huge amount on accommodations for a while. Don’t worry, I completely get you, which is why I sincerely advise you to pick Kapares Studios.
Kapares Studios is located in a calm area of Agia Anna. You will be welcomed with fresh vegetables and watermelons and will have a free private parking spot.
Most peaceful place to stay in Naxos for couples: Kastraki
Kastraki is a small village located about 5.2 km / 3.2 mi from Plaka Beach, my personal best pick. It is by far the most peaceful place to stay in Naxos for you and your special someone since it has a stunning beach with not many tourists on it.
During the summer, many tavernas are open on Naxos Island, and also in Kastraki. You will be able to relax as a couple and have a drink on a deck chair.
My favorite thing about the beach of Kastraki is that it is not particularly organized, which sounds negative but is actually a very, very good thing: this means you will be free to explore the wilderness of Naxos, all the while enjoying the many facilities such as hotels, shops, and restaurants at Kastraki. There is even an in-land salted lake near the beach, and it is definitely a very good pick for your honeymoon.
Wild and undisturbed
Most peaceful place
Enough facilities
Could use a car
Little activities
Where to Stay in Kastraki
Kastraki is definitely one of the best places for your next trip to Naxos as a couple, especially for your honeymoon. It is very quiet and undisturbed, making it a truly paradisiacal escape.
Although it is not very developed or organized, it still has plenty of options for you to choose from, which can be quite discouraging and difficult; don’t worry, just have a look at my personal top picks, adapted to your situation:
✅ Best Hotel: Hotel name
Heading to Kastraki and having a difficult time picking a hotel? Just go for Dolphin Kastraki Studios, you cannot go wrong with these.
This hotel is situated very close to Glyfada Beach and to restaurants and shops, is decorated in a lovely Cycladic style that will make you feel welcomed, has BBQ premises, and is fully equipped.
✨ Luxury Choice: Irida Luxury Apartments
If what you need is a very fancy and comfortable stay in Naxos, but you travel as a couple, you should definitely try the Irida Luxury Apartments of Kastraki.
This luxury hotel has everything you need for you and your loved one, and you will definitely enjoy your stay. Not only does it have a large outdoor swimming pool, but it is also self-catering, has air conditioning for the warm summers of Greece and a fully-equipped kitchen.
💰 Budget Pick: Sahara Apartments
I get it, it is not always easy to find an affordable hotel in such a tourist place as Naxos, but Kastraki, due to its remote location, is ideal for budget travelers.
The Sahara Apartments are definitely a great pick, not only if your budget is tight, but also on the whole. It is located literally 50 m / 164 ft away from the sea, has a balcony with a beautiful sight of the Aegean Sea, and a private parking spot, and you will find all the facilities you need in the vicinity.
Final Thoughts
So there you have them, these were all of my top picks for where to stay for your next trip to Naxos with your loved one! I hope you loved this list, and most importantly that you found your perfect fit!
If you are still having any doubt about where to stay in Naxos for your honeymoon, just go to Plaka, a lovely and hidden paradise. It has the longest beach on the entire island, has a vast choice of accommodations and facilities, and is very clean overall.
Is Naxos good for honeymoon?
Naxos is a paradise in the Aegean Sea, and it is one of the best possible destinations in Europe for your honeymoon. No matter if you choose to follow my advice or not, you will absolutely love this island as a way to celebrate your union.
Not all couples are the same, and not everyone wants to do the same things on their honeymoon, but Naxos has it all.
If you want to rest on sunny beaches and enjoy turquoise, warm waters, you can literally go anywhere around the island. If what you like is history and learning more about Ancient Greece, everything you need can be found in the capital. And finally, if you like hiking, the vast majority of Naxos is untouched, and you will love walking around the island!
Overall, if you are still not convinced Naxos is a good pick for your honeymoon, just trust me and go for it, I swear you won’t regret it.
