Naxos certainly doesn't compete with Mykonos and Paros for wild nightlife, but it has a lively and varied scene. As always on the islands, places that are hot one season are often closed the next year. We're not listing phones, because they are never answered at these places. Portara, by its namesake at the far end of the harbor, is an excellent place to enjoy the sunset. Next, you can join the evening volta (stroll) along the paralia. Fragile, through the arch in the entrance to the Old Town, is one of the older bars in town and worth a stop. Lakridi, off the paralia and not easy to find (ask someone to point the way), often has jazz, classical, and other mellow selections. On the paralia, Ocean Dance and Super Island are reliably lively and usually go all night in summer.
