GENERAL INFO

Naxos is the biggest island in Cyclades. It has massifs and when the horizon is clear, you can see the Za, the highest mountain of Cyclades (1400 altitude).


When you get out of the ship, you meet a town full of life and shops. Fruits, potatoes, tomatoes, cheeses and many other goods, wait for you. Despite the fact that Aegean Sea is often rough, Naxos has many beaches that remain calm and safe.

To know better the island of Naxos, you must walk it around. Naxos is located to the east of Paros. It's got a circular form and it extends to 430 sq. km. and its coast to 148 km. Its western coastline is more remarkable. A high mountain chain crosses the island from the north to the south.

The island's soil is prosperous and it has cereals, oil, vegetables and wine. There is also cattle and agricultural products. However, the main source is Amiris (Naxos land), which is extracted to the island and marbles as well. With "Kapodistrias'" plan was created two big municipalities: Naxos Municipality and Drymalias Municipality.

Its climate is mild. The winter is cold but not heavy. The summer is quite warm but there are the summer winds (meltemia) for a fresh atmosphere. In old geological ages, Naxos was united with the rest islands of Cyclades to a land. Later, the sea level raised and Naxos transformed in island.

Woods with many mammals and birds covered it. These woods remained until the Middle Ages.

Today they make an effort to protect the ambience. The labours in the village Apiranthos with the initiative of the Mayor Manolis Glezos are the proof.

Small barrages hold the waters of rains and they started again the traditional cultivations.
