If you’re looking for the perfect combination of tranquility, stunning sea views, and close proximity to Naxos Town and the island’s best beaches, then look no further than Stelida Naxos. Nestled on a sun-drenched hillside just 3 kilometers from the town center, Stelida has quietly become one of the most desirable places to stay on Naxos—and for good reason.
Why Stelida is the best Area to stay in Naxos
Stelida offers the perfect balance of peaceful seclusion and convenient access. It’s close enough to town to enjoy all the culture, restaurants, and nightlife of Naxos Chora, yet far enough away to enjoy starry skies, calm nights, and the sounds of nature.
From the four rental villas with private pool, such als Almiriki in Stelida, you’ll enjoy panoramic sea views – often on both sides of the peninsula. One side looks toward Agios Prokopios Beach. The other across the bay to Naxos Town, which lights up beautifully at night.
Stelida’s Premium Location, confirmed by Visitor Reviews
Stelida isn’t just beautiful; it’s consistently ranked by guests as a top destination in Naxos. Moreover, Booking.com notes that several Stelida hillside villas—such as Montana Villa and Elanora Villa—provide luxurious privacy and breathtaking panoramic sea views.
Agios Prokopios & nearby Beaches
Located just minutes from Stelida, Agios Prokopios Beach is celebrated as one of the most popular beaches on Naxos. It is known for its long golden sands and crystal-clear Aegean waters.
Nature & Architecture in Harmony
Leading Stelida properties like Villa Almiriki blend traditional Cycladic design with sustainable modern amenities – such as private pools, sea-view terraces, and eco-friendly features. This synthesis appeals to travelers seeking authentic luxury in an unspoiled environment
Beach Lovers’ Paradise
The area is surrounded by some of the best beaches on Naxos. Within minutes you can reach:
- Agios Prokopios Beach – a long stretch of golden sand and crystal-clear water, ranked among Greece’s top 10 beaches

Perfect for Hiking, Biking, and Exploring

And if you’re a history or archaeology fan, than Stelida is home to an important prehistoric excavation site. In fact, tools found here date back 250,000 – some of the oldest evidence of human activity in the Aegean.
Peace, Privacy, and boutique Stays
Although much of Naxos remains delightfully unspoiled, Stelida nonetheless stands out for its low‑key luxury. For example, the few rental villas with a private pool – such as Almiriki – are stylish, and designed to maximize the views. Whether you’re staying in a stone house with a private pool, carved into the hillside or in a whitewashed Cycladic house, Stelida accommodation offers calm, comfort, and authentic character.
Close to Everything – yet peacefully Apart
From Stelida, you’re just:
- 5 minutes by car to Naxos Town
- 3 minutes to Agios Prokopios Beach
- 15 minutes to the airport or port
- 40 minutes to traditional villages like Halki or Apeiranthos
Consequently, this location is ideal for couples, families, and digital nomads. It offers the best of both worlds: quiet surroundings with fast access to everything Naxos has to offer.
