Discover Naxos island Greece

Naxos Island is the well kept secret of the Cyclades. It is located right in the heart of the Aegean Sea and is the largest island of the Cyclades complex. Naxos has never been known as a top tourist destination and has never been promoted as its neighbouring islands. Nevertheless, there are people who travel from countries far away from Greece every year repeatedly in order to spend their holidays only in Naxos Island. Besides, according to the legend, if you come to Naxos once, you will never leave or you will always return to the island…

The first thing that captures your sight while approaching to Naxos Island by ferry is a gigantic marble doorway, the Portara. Standing on a hill surrounded by the sea for more than 2500 years, Portara is the undisputed emblem of the island. Perhaps you will hear people whispering that this mysterious doorway in the middle of the sea, leading to nowhere and overlooking the ocean is a secret portal to another world… However, most possibly Portara is the entrance of an unfinished temple of God Apollo, which was planned to face toward the God’s birthplace, the sacred island of Delos.

Naxos Island is very often mentioned in Greek mythology and even nowadays the countless ruins all over Naxos’s land prove that in history there was a strong connection between the Gods of Greece and this low-profile island. The most worshiped God in Naxos Island was Dionysos, the God of Wine, Pleasure and Amusement. Dionysos also loved Naxos, he lived here and in order to show his gratitude to the faithful Naxians, he generously granted them with cheerfulness and their land with fertility and euphoria. Thus, Naxos is the only one amongst the Cyclades islands that combines the clear blue sea and the endless beaches with lofty mountains, green valleys, rivers, natural fountains, caves and wonderful vistas and landscapes that you rarely find on one single island. Furthermore the enlightenment of Dionysos is the best explanation for the smooth delicious taste of Naxian wine.

In Naxos Island you will swim in clean sandy beaches, some of which stretch in many kilometres. You will drive to the mountainous villages and meet people who lead a quiet agricultural life so closed to the tourism and yet so far… You will visit archaeological sites of great importance. You will taste the most delicious local cuisine. You will walk through the alleys of the castle and meet people in the cozy small bars and cafes. You will feel the relaxing, cheerful Dionysian spirit and finally if you leave Naxos Island for now, you will definitely return….
