NAXOS (The undiscovered)

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 the 4th Milennium BC and excavations around the island bring to light ancient artifacts and buildings almost daily. With frequent connections to several islands it is also easily accessible from Athens either by normal ferry (about 6.5 hours) or fast boat (about 3.5 hours) or by plane (just 45 minutes).
