City: Naxos

Naxos is the largest and most fertile island in the Cyclades, a destination that offers a more authentic and diverse version of the Greek experience. Unlike its more famous neighbors, Naxos combines world-class golden sand beaches with a mountainous interior and lush valleys dotted with traditional villages and ancient ruins. From the imposing Portara that welcomes visitors at its port, to the trails that lead to the top of Mount Zas and the taverns that serve local products, Naxos is an island of surprising natural and cultural wealth, ideal for families, explorers and anyone looking for more than just a postcard.

Order cheese!

Naxos is famous for its cheeses. Don't leave without trying 'Graviera Naxou' (D.O.P.) and 'Arseniko', a strong-flavored cheese.
