In the heart of the Aegean, located the island of Naxos in the middle of Cyclades, with its natural beauty and fertile soil. Naxos is the largest and most fertile island of the Cyclades. Its rich geographical relief creates intense landscape changes. High mountains, fertile valleys, meadows, plateaus, springs, torrents, caves, endless sandy beaches, sand dunes that host cedar forests, all coexist harmoniously on this small piece of land.
Naxos today is one of the most cosmopolitan islands of the Cyclades, with great tourist development. In addition to tourism, the inhabitants are engaged in agriculture, animal husbandry, marble quarries and trade, which employs a large part of Naxiots. The island has the air of a modern tourist resort but at the same time preserves its traditional color and folk culture.
