Amazing rooftop bar and restaurant. Very tasty drinks and delicious food. Had maybe the best pancakes I’ve ever had. Was here mid-afternoon and ordered from brunch menu. Attentive and friendly staff. Take the elevator up and find an open seat. Also amazing views of Naxos and the harbor.

Beautiful rooftop restaurant! Really enjoyed the oven toasted snack. Also tried trio bruschetta and the zucchini snack; which were okay. Hermes drink was quite good! 100% recommend the oven toasted snack.

Ordered the Chickpea salad, Ceviche and Sea Bass, to share with my husband. All were delicious.The dressing from Ceviche and Chickpea salad were great accompaniments with Sea Bass. Amazing views of city of Naxos, ocean and sunset. Very reasonably priced. Worthwhile to get here and there is an elevator at base of castle

Absolutely fantastic view!!! Coffee and food were also great. Loved my scrambled eggs, which were not overcooked as some other places. Fruit salad and chickpea pancakes with eggs and asparagus were great also!

Avaton 1739 in Naxos is a perfect combination of rich history, local charm, and a remarkable dining experience. The restaurant, located atop the Old Monastery of Ursulines, boasts stunning panoramic views of Naxos Town, the Venetian Castle, and Mount Zas from its beautiful rooftop. The venue’s history is particularly special, being situated within the medieval stone walls of a monastery that dates back to 1207, founded during the Venetian occupation of the Aegean islands. Visitors can also enjoy the nearby museum areas, including the former Ursulines' kitchen and other fascinating historical landmarks. The culinary experience at Avaton 1739 focuses on delivering authentic Greek Mediterranean cuisine, with locally sourced ingredients from Naxian farms. The menu is a delightful mix of Mediterranean dishes complemented by a superb selection of wines and island-inspired cocktails that feature local citrus fruits, adding a refreshing touch to the drinks. The rooftop atmosphere is truly magical, especially during sunset, which is a breathtaking sight, followed by the serene moonrise that you can enjoy with a cocktail in hand. The combination of the picturesque setting, rich historical background, and top-notch service makes Avaton 1739 a must-visit for both food enthusiasts and history lovers. The dishes we tried, including the charcuterie board, chickpea salad, the meat, and fried bites, were absolutely mouth-watering, showcasing the variety and attention to detail that the restaurant is known for. Paired with fantastic local and imported wines and fabulous cocktails, the entire experience was unforgettable. I can't wait to return to Avaton 1739 next time I’m in Naxos—it was truly an exceptional experience!

Right on the roof of the Avaton you get to enjoy your meal. Lots of seating available and the food is truly good. Came there for brunch and the servers were all very friendly. We had the same dish and shared another as dessert. The atmosphere was truly great with fantastic view over the island, shore and other islands. A must go visit place imo.

One of my favorite coffee shops in the world - latte was super smooth, never too crowded and has the best view of Naxos.

Super yummy brunch experience! With a great view too. Would definitely recommend. Also I got a 10% discount from paying cash~. Though the location is a little hard to find but follow the arrows and signage. Don't trust Google maps for navigation there. It's located inside the archeological museum entrance
