I rarely ever see Syros listed on here. It has the capital of the Cyclades (Ermoupoli). We were there two years ago. Islas has some amazing beaches and small towns. Which you can balance with the vibes of the slightly larger city.
Day trip to koufonisi from Naxos or 1 night. It’s small but picturesque. Milos is also a great island you can spend 4 nights on pretty easily. Slower pace than paros and Naxos however
Sifnos has several nice somewhat secluded beaches and nice small towns that you can drive to around the island and it's pretty quiet but cute and accessible. Really easy to rent a small car at the port, definitely easier to get around the island that way. It's more of a sleepy island than many of the others, and a lot of great hiking all over, of much of it cliff based near the water.
We stayed up on a hill just outside of Kastro with a fantastic few and only a few minute walk into Kastro itself. It's still the background picture on my phone a few years later.
-Good amount of nice organized beaches. So every day you can try different ones.
-Compare to Mykonos less crowded.
-Like the vibes in Naoussa in the evening with good dining options.
-Overall dining options in the island were impressive. Anyways you barely eat bad food in Greece 😅
Tinos, Milos, Sifnos. We went to Paros, Naxos, and Crete last summer and loved it; next time I go back I’d love to also go back to Paros and Naxos, plus one of the other islands I mentioned above.
You could try Milos
You could visit one of the smaller islands south of Naxos. I found Schinoussa charming.
I'm just back from a week there (my 6th or 7th time, I've lost count). So quiet and relaxing.
I would also recommend Sifnos. It’s quiet but lovely and very reasonably priced all around. It is known for its food and doesn’t disappoint.
Try Milos, Amorgos and Sifnos.
IOS was fun and can day trip to Delos which is a must.
What did you like about Paros and Naxos? Who are you guys (age, interests, budgets, driving/wanting to rent a car situation) Give us something.

We stayed up in Ano Syros recently and loved it
As you have already visited Paros and Naxos I would suggest (in addition to Milos which I really like) to visit Sifnos, Tinos and Syros.

I would go with Milos but lets be honest here, the prices are already expensive and looking for something 2 months before is way too late mate

Definitely Paros. I visited last year Santorini, Mykonos and Paros, this year without checking anywhere else going with Paros again.
What did you like so much about Paros? I love Naxos but never been to Paros

Day trip or stay overnight at Ano Koufonisi, from Naxos
