Relaxed pool settings and family-run warmth draw travelers to the lower-middle-range Ikaros Studios & Apartments, where the Naxos outskirts location keeps rates low.

There are nine studios and apartments with simple decor, flat-screen TVs, kitchenettes, and furnished balconies or terraces. Basic offerings here don't include a bar or restaurant, but poolside drinks can be purchased, and a playground is available for kids. Travelers wanting to be more central should consider the Hotel Spiros, which also offers breakfast.

Comfortable settings and stellar family-run service draw travelers to the Pension Sofi, a three-pearl property with a quiet location just outside downtown Naxos.

The 24-room luxury Tamarix del Mar is a family-friendly, all-suite luxury boutique hotel located near Santorini's black-sand Kamari Beach. Designed to resemble a miniature island village, the hotel is convenient to the island's tourist scene, but far enough away to feel quiet and serene. Features include indoor and outdoor pools, high-end spa services, and a home-cooked breakfast buffet. Guest rooms are bright and airy, with plenty of Greek island charm and private balconies. Travelers might also want to also consider the (typically) slightly cheaper Cavo Bianco, a luxury property with a fresher, more modern feel, though it's located a bit farther from the beach.

Isolated on Santorini’s eastern coast, Imperial Med is one of the island’s few properties offering an all-inclusive option. The upscale hotel is popular with Italian travelers and has a large outdoor pool where there’s often entertainment (in Italian), plus a spa, amphitheater, and sports courts. It’s a short walk to a nearby rocky beach, but the area around the hotel is deserted and the adjacent Santorini Airport means loud airplane noise all day. The 57 rooms are spacious and clean, with contemporary decor and flat-screen TVs. For a more stylish option closer to Santorini's iconic caldera (and a better overall experience), travelers should check rates at Rocabella Deluxe Suites in Imerovigli.
