Traveller notes on Naxos in March
Other months in Naxos
Naxos's forum calls August hot, busy, and windy — the meltemi peaks this month, strongest in the afternoon and typically easing at night. Regulars point to west-coast beaches like St. George, Agios Prokopios and Agia Anna as well sheltered from the wind, and note crowds are the bigger complaint than the meltemi itself, with early September suggested as a calmer, still-warm alternative.
