Naxos - Cyclades

Naxos is the largest island of Cyclades and the tenth largest island of Greece. It is one of the Greek islands with the best sandy beaches.

Naxos is one of the islands that is often referred to in the Ancient Greek Mythology, as it was the birthplace of god Dionysos.

Compared to most of the other islands in Cyclades, Naxos is a green island, with running water and many trees. The tourism hot-spots are specific and the size of Naxos is big, as a result there are many places that have not preserved their original life-style and traditions.

There are also many impressive old churches on Naxos dated in the Byzantine and Medieval periods.
