Naxos Vacations

According to legend, Dionysus, the god of wine and revelry, married lovely Ariadne on the Cyclade’s largest isle of Naxos. The ancient Greeks built a temple in his honor that partially remains today in the village of Glinado near the island’s capital city of Chora. Dionysus would have loved the lush vineyards of this romantic Greek isle, located between Paros and Mykonos in the deep blue Aegean Sea.

Overview

Naxos' sandy beaches include Plaka, Agios Prokopios and Orkos. They provide long stretches of soft eggshell-colored sand; while the winds along the western coastline at Mikri Vigla and elsewhere create ideal conditions for kite surfing and windsurfing. The highest mountain in the Cyclades, Mount Zas, sits proudly at the island’s heart.

A large marble Portara, or gate, welcomes visitors at this intriguing port city. One of the island’s most charming villages, Apiranthos, in the north, is paved with the island’s fine white marble. The town’s strong Venetian influence can be observed in the ornate balconies and coat of arms above the doorways. A charming windmill and old tower can still be seen in partial ruins.

Vacationers can find the perfect marriage of land and sea, traditional villages and lush valleys, amid this idyllic Greek island paradise known as Naxos.
