When we think of summer holidays, most of us picture July and August. Yet, autumn in Naxos holds a unique charm that captivates anyone who discovers it. It's the season when the island reveals its most authentic character and offers experiences that are hard to enjoy during the peak of the high season.

Mild Climate & Ideal Temperatures

September and October in Naxos combine sunshine and the sea with cooler, more pleasant temperatures. You can enjoy swimming on calm beaches without the crowds, while walks through the villages and along the island's trails become even more enjoyable. September is generally dry, with very little rainfall, ensuring almost daily sunshine. Sea breezes are milder than in August, making the beaches calmer and perfect for water sports.

The Sea at Its Best

In autumn, the water remains warm and crystal-clear, inviting endless moments of swimming and relaxation. Beaches like Agia Anna, Plaka, and Agios Prokopios are peaceful, with plenty of space and serenity, offering the perfect escape away from the crowds.

Gastronomy & Local Festivals

Naxos is renowned for its cuisine - and autumn is when the land gives its richest bounty. Cheeses, potatoes, wine, and fresh produce come together in authentic dishes you can enjoy at tavernas and restaurants without the summer rush.

September in Naxos is also full of festivals and cultural events that highlight the island's rich traditions. From religious celebrations such as Theoskepasti (08/09), Panagia Drosiani (08/09), and the Feast of the Holy Cross (14/09), to major cultural festivals like Dionysia and the Bazeos Festival, autumn is a lively period. And of course, culinary experiences are plentiful: Ampelifest combines dance, music, local flavors, and wine in a celebration of authentic Naxian culture.
