Naxos in a nutshell

Naxos is the largest island in the Cyclades, with an area exceeding 430 square kilometers. The length of its shores is almost 91 km and a big part of it shapes fantastic beaches. The highest point of the island is Zeus, at an altitude of about a thousand meters.

Arriving in Naxos by ship (yes the island also has an airport) the first thing you will notice is the trademark of the island, the famous Portara. As you get off from the ship, you will be in Chora, the capital and largest settlement on the island.

You will surely spend much of your time here to see for yourself all the sights in town. Indicatively, there is the Castle of Chora, the Archaeological Museum of Naxos, the Naxos Venetian Museum, the Byzantine Museum of Naxos and Epitope Museum.

Leaving Chora to explore the rest of the beautiful island, it is worth visiting the Temple of Demetra, the Temple of Dionysus and of course the impressive marble Kouros that are scattered around Naxos. Do not forget to pass by Apeiranthos, a beautiful picturesque village with many interesting museums and the Bazeos Tower, which hosts several cultural events.

Of course Naxos has great tourist infrastructure. Here you will find excellent hotels and guest rooms, traditional taverns and, magnificent restaurants, charming bars, cafes and clubs and everything else you might need to spend your holidays wonderfully.

Holidays in Naxos will be unforgettable.
