Honest answers, updated for the new 2026 Greek traffic code.
Anywhere on Naxos. Airport, port, every village, every beach hotel. Free is free - no minimum rental days, no hidden fees.
Yes, free. Tell us at booking. Both points are free; we'll be there.
Yes - one baby seat or booster is free with every car. Greek law requires a proper seat for under-3s, a booster for 3–11s, and forbids children under 12 (or shorter than 1.35 m) from sitting in the front. Multiple seats free on request - just message us.
Manual is fine for confident drivers - Naxos isn't San Francisco. Automatic is calmer if you'll be doing stop-and-go in Chora and around tight Stelida roads, especially for two-driver families splitting the wheel.
Yes, but supply is tight. We always keep automatic Hyundai i10, Kia Picanto, Citroen C3, Peugeot 208, Toyota RAV4, Kia Sportage and Polaris buggies. In July and August book at least 3 weeks in advance for guaranteed automatic. Outside high season we usually have same-week availability.
Mid-May to mid-June and mid-September to mid-October. Warm weather, swimmable sea, low queues, full availability of the fleet at shoulder prices. Avoid early August if you can - it's the busiest week of the year.
