| Naxos is the biggest and most fertile island of the Cyclades. Its rich geographical relief has created dramatic changes of scenery. High mountains, fertile valleys, plateaus, springs, rivers, caves, huge beaches, sand dunes with cedar trees growing on them, all existing harmoniously on this small piece of earth. Naxos is one of the few islands, which has been inhabited continuously since ancient times (end of the 4th millennium B.C.) till today. It has been possible to gather information about the history of the Aegean from traces left behind from each historical period, along with unique monuments which are scattered all over the island. Naxos has the cosmopolitan atmosphere of a modern tourist resort, but at the same time has kept its traditional colour and it's local culture. Hora (the main town) is a harbour and the administrative centre of the island. It is a modern town, which offers all kinds of facilities. There is a Health Centre, banks, a very good market place and lots of restaurants, bars and cafes. It has a lively nightlife, not only during the summer months, like most islands, but all the year round. It's famous beaches on the south western side of the island, which are made up of kilometres of white golden sand, are being developed rapidly, but at the same time still maintain some of the atmosphere of the seventies when they were discovered by the "flower people". | ||

| The archeological museum All findings from excavations are kept in the archaeological museum, proof of the uninterrupted cultural presence in Naxos from pre-historic times until the end of the ancient times. The museum is housed in the building of the former Commercial School in the area of the Castle. Grota's archaeological site Portara can be seen from afar as ships approach the island of Naxos, standing on the northern side of the port. This monument is a gigantic gate, which remains from a temple that was dedicated to Apollo. It was built during the 6th century B.C, when Naxos used to be a commercial and cultural centre.

| The museums of Apeiranthos The village Apeiranthos has a museum of archeology, geology and folk art. In the archeological museum there are pre-historic exhibits that have been excavated from the southeastern part of the island. Iria - Dionysus' sanctuary It is situated south of the village Sagri, at Gyroulas area. The marble temple was dedicated to Demeter (the goddess of fertility) and to Apollo and is one of the best preserved ancient buildings in Greece, dating from 530 B.C. The restoration of the site is finished and there is also a small museum. Kouros (Flerio) Kouros (Apollonas) Plaka's tower Himarros' tower It was the strongest fortress in Naxos and the administrative centre of the island during the Byzantine empire, situated on the top of an unapproachable mountain in the area of Sagri.

| In Naxos there are some of the most beautiful beaches in Greece. Lets get to know them. | ||
THE ENDLESS SANDY BEACHES OF THE SOUTHWEST SIDE | ||
| From the bay of St. George, south of Hora up until the bay of Agiassos, there is one magical beach after another; St. Prokopis, St. Anna, Plaka, Orkos, Mikri Vigla, Kastraki, Aliko, Pirgaki and Agiassos. St. Prokopis and St. Anna beaches are well organized for tourism with shops of every kind. The rest of the beaches offer facilities for the tourist but they are not so crowded. Agios Georgios (St. George) Agios Prokopis (St Prokopis) Agia Anna (St. Anna) Plaka The rock of Mikri Vigla (16 klm. from Chora), separates the sandy beaches of Parthenos and Mikri Vigla. Because of the perfect weather conditions the beach of Parthenos has become a meeting place for surfers from all over the world. Mikri Vigla beach with its crystal clear water stretches as far as the eye can see. There are few tavernas. Kastraki Aliko Pyrgaki Agiasos | ||
THE EAST COAST | ||
| On the eastern side of Naxos there are also magical beaches, far away from the tourist development and the tourist crowds. Apollonas is the exception. On the east coach you can find a peaceful place just for you and your company even the summer months. Apollonas Lionas Outside Apiranthos there is a road which leads to Moutsouna (39 klm. from Hora) a beautiful little seaside settlement with picturesque tavernas situated right on the edge of the beautiful beach. Moutsouna is the port from where emery was shipped during the period of thriving commercial activity. Psili Ammos On the southern tip of Naxos is the bay of Calados, a magical place sheltered from the wind, where the land meets the sea. Calados is reachable only by boat (there is a very rough dirt road, which starts from Filoti and leads to Calados but we do not recommend it unless you have a suitable vehicle.) It's necessary to take supplies if you decide to visit the beach. | ||
THE BEACHES OF THE NORTHWEST SIDE | ||
| On the northwestern coast of Naxos there are some quiet beaches, ideal for swimming, but exposed to northerly winds. Ambram From Galini starts the road, which leads to Amitis, a long sandy quiet beach. On the road stands a monastery - tower dedicated to the Virgin Mary. | ||
| ||
| In Mikri Vigla we come to the circular road, which starts from Hora, passing through the villages of Glinado, Agios Arsenios and Tripodes and ending up in the south at Pyrgaki. The rock of Mikri Vigla, which separates the sandy beaches of Parthenos and Mikri Vigla, at one time was used as a watch out point for pirates (a vigla is a small look-out tower). Today this area is used for surfers who cat across the sea between the beaches of Orkos, Mikri Vigla and the islet of Parthenos. Because of the perfect weather conditions the beach of Parthenos has become a meeting place for surfers from all over the world. Mikri Vigla beach with its white sand and crystal, clear water, stretches as far as the eye can see. All of this area is perfect for quiet idyllic holidays, far away from the crowds. | ||
