Koutelieris

Koutelieris is one of Naxos Town's established supermarkets, sitting on Andrea Papandreou street within easy reach of the port and the main commercial strip. With over 2,000 Google reviews averaging 4.5 stars, it serves a steady mix of locals doing their weekly shop and visitors stocking up on supplies for villas, apartments, or boat charters.

For anyone self-catering on Naxos — whether you're in Naxos Town itself, heading to Agios Prokopios, or driving further down the west coast — Koutelieris is a practical first stop before you settle in.

What to Expect

The store carries a full range of everyday groceries: fresh produce, dairy, bread, meat, packaged foods, snacks, beverages, and household basics. The website references over 130 product lines covered under Greece's government-monitored "household basket" (καλάθι του νοικοκυριού) initiative, which caps prices on staple goods — useful context if you're watching your budget. Weekly offers are posted on the Koutelieris website, so it's worth a quick check before you go.

Stock levels are generally reliable for the volume of visitors Naxos receives in summer, and the range goes beyond tourist basics. You'll find local Naxian products alongside national Greek brands — look for Naxos graviera cheese, thyme honey, and local potatoes, all of which the island produces in quantity.

How to Get There

The store is on Andrea Papandreou, a main road in Naxos Town (Chora). If you're arriving by ferry, it's a short walk or quick taxi ride from the port. By car or scooter, the road is accessible from the main coastal route through town; street parking is available nearby, though spots fill quickly in July and August. Buses from Agios Prokopios and other west-coast beaches stop in Naxos Town, making a grocery run straightforward without a car.

Best Time to Visit

Koutelieris is open Monday through Saturday, 7:30 AM to 9:00 PM, and closed on Sundays. Early mornings are the quietest time, particularly in high season when midday shopping — especially the hour after beach-goers return to their accommodation — can get busy. If you're arriving in Naxos on a Sunday, plan ahead, as the store will be closed.

In shoulder season (May, June, September, October) the pace is noticeably calmer and shelves are well-stocked without the peak-summer scramble.

Tips for Visiting

• Check Sunday closures: The store does not open on Sundays — stock up on Saturday if you need supplies for the following day.
• Use the weekly offers page: The Koutelieris website (koutelieris.com) lists current promotions, which can add up if you're buying for a group or a longer stay.
• Look for local products: Naxos graviera, the island's PDO cheese, and Naxian potatoes are worth picking up here; they're cheaper at a local supermarket than at tourist-facing delis.
• Arrive early in peak season: The 7:30 AM opening is earlier than many island shops, making it a good stop before a beach day.
• Bring a bag: Plastic bag regulations in Greece mean single-use bags carry a small charge; reusable tote bags are more practical.
• Parking: A car or scooter makes the trip easier if you're stocking up for a week — loading heavy bags onto a bus is manageable but not ideal.

What's Nearby

Andrea Papandreou is one of the main arteries connecting Naxos Town's port area to the broader Chora. Within a short walk you'll find the Naxos Town waterfront, the old market street (with local bakeries and delis), and the base of the Kastro neighborhood. If you're doing a broader provisioning run, the area around the port also has a pharmacy, a hardware shop, and several bakeries for fresh bread. The road south from Naxos Town leads directly toward Agios Prokopios and Agios Georgios beaches.
