Pet-Friendly Restaurants in Naxos

A long-running taverna tucked into the lanes of the Kastro, with an open-air terrace looking over the rooftops of Chora toward the harbour. Like most Naxian tavernas, leashed, well-behaved dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables, where the evening breeze keeps things cool. The kitchen leans into Naxian classics built around the island's famous cheeses and slow-cooked meats.

A popular all-day spot on the lively Protodikiou Square in the heart of Chora, with ample shaded outdoor seating away from traffic. Calm, leashed dogs are an everyday sight at the square's terraces, and the open setting makes it comfortable in summer. Expect a broad Greek menu of grills, salads, and mezze.

A relaxed beach bar and restaurant set right on the long sandy sweep of Plaka, the kind of open-air, feet-in-the-sand spot where dogs fit in easily. Because Plaka is a wide unorganised beach, leashed dogs are welcome on the sand alongside the loungers and the casual terrace. Come for cocktails, fresh fish, and an unbeatable sunset over the dunes.
