Naxos island has numerous places for all kind of interests to visit like monuments, archaeological places, churches, castle, museums, and unique landscape. The 3000 years history is a promise for sightseeing, exploration and discovery.
Naxos Beaches are among the best in Greece (over 40 kilometres of beaches). It has superior endless beaches with fine golden or white sand, quiet or crowded, with tourist infrastructure or remote, with deep of shallow waters, such as those at Agia Anna, Agios Prokopios, Alikos, Kastraki, Mikri Vigla, Plaka, and Saint George (Agios Georgios), most of them near Naxos Town (Hora). Naxos Town on the west coast is the island’s port and capital which feels like four towns joined together: the port with the waterfront, the Old Town with the Venetian Castle (Kastro), Saint George with the so named beach.
More than 64 villages, most of which are mountaineous, cover its slopes. They are well known for their excellent cool climate and their
unsurpassed local cuisine. On Naxos there are two areas that were recently entered in the network “Natura 2000″, and were characterized as land of European interest: the island’s central highlands and the southern coastal zone (Zas-Vigla-Mavrovouni) as well as Aliki, located on the southwestern coast of Naxos.
In mythology Naxos was linked with the wedding of Dionysus and Ariadne, a union that blessed the island with its fertility and its distinctive wine, which was highly prized in the ancient world. Naxos is one of the few Cycladic islands, which has been inhabited continuously since the dawn of civilization: archaeological evidence indicates the presence of permanent settlements already in the end of the 4th millennium BC. From the many archaeological remains in which all historical periods are richly represented - much has been learnt about the history of the Aegean.
Filoti is the island’s largest village, about 18 km from Chora. Located in the centre of Naxos, it serves as the main hub for the surrounding area. It has a market, a post office and banks. Filoti’s main landmark is a tall tree in the village centre. Locals call it Gefyra which means Bridge. For about a century, the tree has offered shade to many a weary traveller. Walking through the pretty, picturesque alleys of Filoti, visitors will eventually come across the captivating church of the Virgin Mary.It is also full of many charming houses built in the traditional Cycladic style. Celebrations and name day festivals are certainly a part of Filoti’s life, especially on the 15th of August (Festival of Our Lady of Dormition) where revelry and merriment go on ‘till the early hours.
