Naxos has the cosmopolitan atmosphere of a modern tourist resort, but at the same time has kept its traditional colour and it's local culture. Hora (the main town) is a harbour and the administrative centre of the island. It is a modern town, which offers all kinds of facilities. There is a Health Centre, banks, a very good market place and lots of restaurants, bars and cafes. It has a lively nightlife, not only during the summer months, like most islands, but all the year round.

Saint George Beach at Naxos Town (the capital of Naxos) is the most famous resort in Naxos Island. It is located at the so named bay and it is over 1 kilometre long with fine sand and shallow waters which makes it safe for kids.
