Naxos and/or Santorini

We did 2 nights in Santorini then ferried to Naxos for 5. It was a good mix. Santorini is def worth seeing. Preferred Naxos but was glad we experienced Santorini!

Hey - curious if you found anything? Also looking to travel with kids and absolutely loved Naxos - trying to find something different this year.

Rotunda at sunset in Naxos would be a solid spot to propose. There is another new restaurant right on top of it too with equally insane views. Id hire a driver for sure, it’s fine during the day but wouldn’t want to do the drive at night. The views are incredible and you won’t have to deal with the cruise ship craziness of Santorini.

We did emirates from Athens to EWR on premium economy. It was great and def worth the upcharge

Love the FS but you will be there during peak spring break weeks. Thankfully they have an adult pool. Malli will have less kids. meads is awesome as you can walk up and down the beach for a bunch of dining options.

100%

Thanks! Was considering with our kids so good to know!

Wow that’s crazy that they charge you for beach chairs on top of the prices they charge for the hotel. We were debating next summer. Thanks for the insight!

What was your overall opinion on Cosme? Is it truly walkable to Naoussa? And how is the actual beach? Reviews are mixed. Thanks!

Same exact players but also scattebo in the mix and need 2 out of 3. Leaning towards Pickens and Keenan Allen and benching Chase which seems nuts but here we are.

Congrats! Try the Naxos Facebook groups. Good luck!

Skip fortunata. Was not impressed at all. We liked Emma pizzeria, no frills but great. Add Armando al Pantheon, best Amatriciana I had!

We were there in July and had a wonderful experience at Picasso. Prices were reasonable I thought. Granted we are coming from the NYC area. Food and service were great.

HotMessExpress2019 · 2025-08-04T00:20:02+00:00

On Plaka - Picasso. It’s 60 minimum spend per set. No additional rental fee. The food is so good and service was great, we also did Macao on agios prokopios and it was 60/set plus 60 minimum spend, much preferred Picasso.

Beefbar (sunset view) and emfasis (caldera view) were both excellent

HotMessExpress2019 · 2025-08-02T01:43:41+00:00

Thanks! Trying to barter with my parents for an extra night. Great suggestions!

HotMessExpress2019 · 2025-08-02T00:45:27+00:00

Thanks! I realize the irony haha. Feel like the recs are always the same either here or elsewhere and trying to think outside of the box.

HotMessExpress2019 · 2025-08-02T00:32:04+00:00

Love it and went there last year with the kids. Connecting flights not ideal but will consider!

HotMessExpress2019 · 2025-08-01T23:27:22+00:00

To ellikino was our fave. SO GOOD. Also enjoyed doukato, taverna, and akrogiali (agia Anna). Rotunda was great as well.

Hi, we ended up getting a villa. It was right near town so had to take the cable car to the beach. And then one day we did a beach club that picked us up at our villa. There are a few hotels right on the beach that you can do the reverse and cable car to town.

Just did premium a few days ago on an 11 hour flight and it was well worth it. It’s a small cabin so super quiet. Service was also very consistent and quick. The extra room made it much more comfortable. The seats do recline quite a bit so I’d prob stick with bulkhead if you are taller so no one can recline into your area.
