Location – distances
The island of Naxos is the largest in the Cyclades. The nuptial island of the god Dionysus, Naxos is a cosmopolitan destination renowned as a prime spot for kite and windsurfing due to the winds. It’s an island with many archaeological sites, one of the most famous being “Portara” (the “Great Door”), which was part of the Temple of Apollo and its view of the sunset is a truly remarkable sight. Naxos is famous for its marble, which was used in ancient Olympia as well as the Acropolis in Athens. It also has a strong agricultural tradition, and visitors must try its famous potatoes and the local cheese, called “Arseniko Naxou”.

Naxos can be reached easily by ferry from Piraeus, Rafina (the two ports servicing Athens), as well as from the other islands in the Cyclades. It is very close to Paros (roughly 35 mins journey time), Mykonos (35 mins to 1h 45 mins journey time, depending on the ship), and Santorini (1h 20mins to 2h 30 mins depending on the ship) and can thus serve as a base for exploring the Cyclades island complex. It can also be reached by plane from Athens with several flights per day, while the journey takes approximately 35-50 mins.
