In the mostly dry and arid climate of the Cyclades, Naxos presents a big exception as well as a big surprise just waiting to be discovered. With its forests, rivers, waterfalls, olive groves, marble quarries, vineyards and livestock, this is the largest and most fertile island in the Cyclades. Naxos has always been gifted with abundance and is deeply appreciated by those who value the blessed land and all its produce, the authenticity of warm-hearted people and a strong folklore element.

Relish the opportunity to explore the island that keeps people coming back for more. With history that dates back thousands of years and continues throughout modern times, as well as a plethora of myths to feed the imagination, it’s no wonder why Naxos has loyal fans all over the world.
