Will be visiting Naxos for the first time in early October. There are three of us. We like sandy beaches and good food and wine. Maybe some hiking, too. We're not late night party people. Any recommendations about accommodations on Naxos will be greatly appreciated.

This is where I am staying for the moment: https://www.antoniastudios.com/ It’s the 5th year in a row we are staying here. Michaella the host is a real 💎 Picks us up or drops us at airport/port if possible. On arrival bottle of water and carton of juice in the fridge, every day she provides a little snack or a piece of cake. With direct contact and cash payment you get a reduction on the price advertised on bookingdotcom
The studios are in a quiet neighborhood but just 2 minutes walk to the beach (Agios Georgios), to several tavernas and 10 minute walk to Naxos Town seafront. The “studio on the top” (our favorite) has been completely renovated. Pictures for the website will only be taken after we leave next week on Thursday.

We love Naxos and the first couple of times we went we stayed in Chora ( main town where port is ) however the beach that you can walk to from there is St. George’s beach and it really didn’t impress us that much. It’s one of those beaches. You have to walk out like a long distance to get it over your knees so great for young children.
We now go and stay on Agia Prokopios or Anna .
We have stayed at Manios suites , beach front hotel and includes an à la carte breakfast ( very good )
Last year it wasn’t available for some of our dates so we stayed at Hotel Katarina- which we also loved it was about two blocks off the beach, but it’s so nice. We walked down this little country lane. Basically if you go One Direction or the other direction takes you into town and the hotel had a pool, but we would honestly just sit out by the pool, wrap, our towels around us, walk down to the beach and go for a swim and then walk back to the hotel and hang by the pool.
Both of these beaches have many little restaurants and tavernas
And both are within walking distance of the Arts Café which is a locally owned funky live music venue. I mean, we would go there almost every night beautiful sunset views obviously there’s drinks, but you can also have tea. They bring you a huge selection you can choose from., and we’ve heard some amazing music there obviously some local folk music but they also have you know guitar players or there was a Russian violinist who was excellent!
