Naxos, Greece is located in the centre of one of the most famous island groups in the world, the Cyclades. They are located in the heart of the Aegean Sea, a sea full of myths, art and historic battles since the prehistoric times. Traveling to Naxos lets you connect with the past of one of the greatest ancient civilizations, the Cycladic, whose traces are exhibited in the island’s many museums. As a result, its strong connection with history and its many and impressive monuments of thousands of years old are of great importance to the island’s touristic development.
But this is not the main reason why most people choose Naxos as their holiday destination. The most important of all is the fact that it has a very large number of beaches of literally any kind. Some say they are more than 35 and they would be right. The island’s geology is such that at its southwest, long sandy beaches have been formed while at its southeast, the mountains plunge into the Aegean forming smaller sandy coves. The northern part of the island, rocky and bravely facing the strong winds from the north, has a wild beauty that few places can match.
Naxos beaches are, without doubt, truly magnificent, but so are most of the island’s villages, some of which are very busy during summer season. The authentic character they have successfully maintained is an attraction to all tourists, Greek and foreign. Apeiranthos, Filoti, Koronos, Moutsouna, Eggares, Halki … they look just like they have come out of an old movie.
When it comes to holidays, what’s more important than good quality tasty food? No place can beat Naxos on this aspect. The island’s rich produce is enough not only to cover its annual needs but it allows it to export goods to nearby islands and abroad. This sufficiency of fresh meat, fish and vegetables, of aromatic herbs and thyme honey is what makes its cooking unique. Simple yet delicious recipes are served in almost all Naxos restaurants and taverns.
Naxos island tourist infrastructure has improved significantly during the last 15 years. From a mostly unknown island with very limited accommodation, Naxos hotels, apartments and rooms can now boast of being among the best in Greece, offering all required amenities. The old accommodation units have all been recently renovated and new ones have sprung out, being a sight for sore eyes. Being fully modernized, most hotels allow you to make online bookings. Alternatively, you may choose to make your reservation via one of the island’s many travel agencies and book at the same time an island tour for sightseeing, or a Naxos activity of your choice. The services provided are highly professional to match the best holiday resorts.
Naxos travel arrangements can also be made online. From ferry tickets bookings to airplane reservations. You must, however, keep in mind that an early booking for both ferry / plane tickets and accommodation is required during middle and high season (late June to mid September) if you want to satisfy all your requirements.
There are many more reasons to select Naxos as your next travel destination. But you will discover these yourself.
