Naxos is the largest island in the Cyclades archipelago in Greece, known for its stunning landscapes, rich history, and vibrant culture. The island features a mix of beautiful beaches, traditional villages, and significant archaeological sites. One of the most iconic landmarks is the Portara, a massive marble gate that dates back to the 6th century BC and stands as a remnant of an unfinished temple dedicated to Apollo. Naxos is also renowned for its fertile valleys and agricultural products, such as olives, citrus fruits, and the famous Naxian potatoes. Visitors can explore the charming old town of Naxos, with its narrow, winding streets, medieval architecture, and Venetian castle.
