Naxos (/ˈnæksɒs/; Greek: Νάξος, pronounced [ˈnaksos]) is a Greek island—at 429 km2 (166 sq mi) the largest of the Cyclades island group in the Aegean. It was the centre of archaic Cycladic culture. The island is famous as a source of emery, a rock rich in corundum, which until modern time was one of the best abrasives available.
The largest town and capital of the island is Chora or Naxos City, with 6,533 inhabitants (2001 census). The main villages are Filoti, Apiranthos, Vivlos, Agios Arsenios, Koronos and Glinado.
Climate is Mediterranean, with relatively mild winters and very warm summers. The Köppen Climate Classification subtype for this climate is "Csa". (Mediterranean Climate).
According to Greek mythology, the young Zeus was raised in a cave on Mt. Zas ("Zas" meaning "Zeus"). Homer mentions "Dia"; literally the sacred island "of the Goddess". Karl Kerenyi explains (speaking as if he were an ancient Greek):
One legend has it that in the Heroic Age before the Trojan War, Theseus abandoned the princess Ariadne of Crete on this island after she helped him kill the Minotaur and escape from the Labyrinth. Dionysus (god of wine, festivities, and the primal energy of life) who was the protector of the island, met Ariadne and fell in love with her. But eventually Ariadne, unable to bear her separation from Theseus, either killed herself (according to the Athenians), or ascended to heaven (as the older versions had it). The Naxos portion of the Ariadne myth is also told in the Richard Strauss opera Ariadne auf Naxos.
Ταξιδεύουμε, κάνουμε γυρίσματα, φωτογραφίζουμε, παίρνουμε συνεντεύξεις, προβάλουμε προορισμούς και επιχειρήσεις και σας τα παρουσιάζουμε! Εδώ και 15 χρόνια το Touristorama σας ταξιδεύει χειμώνα – καλοκαίρι σε όλη την ελληνική ύπαιθρο και στα αναρίθμητα πανέμορφα νησιά μας. Στην αρχή με εντυπωσιακές φωτογραφίες και αφιερώματα, κι έπειτα με βίντεο που, επίσης, προσαρμόζονταν στις σύγχρονες ανάγκες και τάσεις. Τα iphone και τα drones «μπήκαν στο παιχνίδι», κάνοντας τη δική μας δουλειά ευκολότερη και συγχρόνως το αποτέλεσμα πολύ πιο όμορφο! Άλλωστε το Touristorama ήταν το δημιούργημα δύο δημοσιογράφων… και η δημοσιογραφία είναι μεγάλο σαράκι, δεν θα τους άφηνε εύκολα! Το πρόσφατο μεγάλο project μας είναι η παραγωγή ενός ταξιδιωτικού βίντεο – ντοκιμαντέρ για το ονειρεμένο νησί της Νάξου....
Enjoy the historic Castro quarter, the giant Portara (part of a the uncompleted Apollon temple), beautiful Plaka beach and much more. According to Greek mythology, Theseus left Ariadne on Naxos because the god Dionysos demanded her. Naxos as the largest and one of the most beutiful cycladic island features many splendid villages such as Apeiranthos, built in marble, the small harbor settlement Apollonas, and Halki with its famous Kitron liquor distillery. But there is much more to discover, e.g. the temple of Demeter, and the Kouros (a half-finished colossal marble statue) left behind from 2.500 years ago. And let's not forget the amazing Buzouki concert at the Venetian Castle...

An island with a variety of landscapes that even the most discerning travelers will enjoy.
Naxos would love to have the high-class tourism and the big bucks that come with it like their neighbor Mykonos, but they have their fields and their fruit and olive trees and their fishing and are content to be the kind of place that is attractive not only to those seeking sunlight, bars and bikinis, but also those looking for a little Greek culture to go along with it. Naxos is the greenest island in the Cyclades with impressively high mountains and fertile valleys. There are beaches that are among the most beautiful in Greece, a few minutes drive from villages where they still wear traditional dress, weave on old looms and live off the fruit of the land. Naxos is an island of beautiful old churches, monasteries and Venetian castles and homes. Naxos has been continuously inhabited since...

Travel video about destination Cyclades in Greece. Otherwise known as 'The Pearls of Greece', the Cyclades Islands are located in the heart of the South Aegean that flows around its former centre, the holy island of Delos. Of more than 220 islands, only 25 are populated.Situated in the centre of the Cyclades group of islands, Mykonos is a former pirate village and for some years has been a meeting place for artists, V.I.P.’s and the international glitterati. Five old windmills dominate the picturesque bay of Mykonos. In earlier times, the town’s millers supplied flour to soldiers, merchants and even pirates. A special attraction is the district of Little Venice, the style of its buildings serving as a reminder of when the Venetians took possession of the island.Delos is known as the 'Pompe...
