Discover Naxos, the largest greek island of the Cyclades, in the Aegean Sea.

Naxos is the largest and most fertile island of the Cyclades, located in the heart of the Aegean Sea. t was an important center of the ancient Cycladic civilization and still hosts monuments such as the Portara, the impressive gateway of the Temple of Apollo. Today, it is a peaceful tourist destination, ideal for those seeking culture, relaxation, and crystal-clear sea. 

Unlike many other islands in the archipelago, it features a remarkable variety of landscapes: long sandy beaches, imposing mountains, green valleys, and picturesque hilltop villages. This unique mix makes it a well-rounded destination, perfect for those seeking both relaxation and cultural or nature-based experiences.

The main town, Naxos Town (or Chora), welcomes visitors with a charming harbor dominated by the Portara, the ancient marble gate of the Temple of Apollo and the island's symbol. The old town is a maze of cobbled alleys, whitewashed houses, artisan shops, and medieval remnants, including the Venetian castle that reflects the island’s long period under Latin rule.

Beyond its crystal-clear sea and stunning beaches – such as Agios Prokopios, Plaka, and Mikri Vigla – Naxos offers inland routes through olive groves, natural springs, and ancient paths. The villages of Halki, Filoti, and Apiranthos preserve authentic traditions, local crafts, and a rich cuisine featuring specialties like the famous graviera cheese and the citrus liqueur kitron.

Thanks to its balance of history, nature, and hospitality, Naxos is an ideal destination for those looking to discover the more authentic side of the Cyclades, far from the more touristy spots.

Naxos is the largest and one of the most fascinating islands of the Cyclades, located in the heart of the Aegean Sea. Known for its extraordinary variety of landscapes, it combines long sandy beaches with lush mountains, fertile valleys, and traditional villages that remain authentic. It's the perfect destination for those seeking a mix of sea, culture, nature, and gastronomy.

The island’s western coast is famous for its spectacular beaches, including Agios Prokopios, Agia Anna, Plaka, and Mikri Vigla. These beaches are known for their fine golden sand and crystal-clear turquoise waters. The eastern coast, wilder and less frequented by tourists, offers hidden coves and stunning natural scenery.

Naxos has a Mediterranean climate, with hot, sunny summers and mild winters. During the summer months, the meltemi—a wind that blows across the Aegean—refreshes the air and makes the island ideal for outdoor activities, especially for windsurfing and kitesurfing enthusiasts.

Naxos is also rich in history and culture. Its main town, Chora (Naxos Town), is a charming village dominated by a Venetian castle, with cobblestone alleys, artisan shops, and traditional taverns. Just a short walk from the port lies the famous Portara, a majestic marble gateway that belonged to an ancient temple dedicated to Apollo. It is the island's symbol and one of the most evocative spots, especially at sunset.

The inland areas of Naxos are surprisingly authentic: villages such as Halki, Apeiranthos, and Filoti still preserve their traditions, architecture, and genuine pace of life. Here, visitors can discover Byzantine churches, medieval towers, and artisanal workshops producing cheese, honey, wine, and the famous Kitron liqueur, made only on the island.

Thanks to its unique combination of enchanting sea, breathtaking landscapes, tradition, and warm hospitality, Naxos is a destination that captivates every type of traveler—from families to couples, from sports lovers to culture enthusiasts—offering authentic and unforgettable experiences.
