Naxos car hire

Top tips for hiring a car in Naxos

• A hire car is the best way to go around Naxos as there aren’t many taxis, and public transportation is infrequent and can’t take you to all the good spots around the island. With a car, you will be able to explore this Greek gem freely, visiting as many beaches as you please and exploring the ancient ruins at your own pace.
• Naxos Island National Airport (JNX) is conveniently located less than 4 kilometers (2.5 miles) southwest of downtown Naxos. It serves mainly domestic flights coming from Athens International Airport. The terminal in itself is quite small, so you will quickly spot the hire car desks at the Arrivals Hall. Try booking your car in advance if visiting in the summer because of the high demand.
• Naxos itself is very easy to navigate, even without a GPS, but beware that the roads are often narrow and you may encounter several switchbacks with no guardrails. However, as long as you are alert, there are rarely any precarious situations as the speed limits are very low on the island and drivers are typically patient. Keep an eye out for one-way streets in town.
• Naxos really doesn't experience a rush hour per se, but during peak season the roads around the island are more crowded from around 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., as that's when people head to the beach. Downtown may be busier during summer too, but aside from Naxos’ center you’ll find that driving around the island is a pleasant and traffic-free experience.
