Naxos is the largest and richest island of the Cyclades group covering an
area of 428 km2 and a coastline of 148 km. The 7,000 are scattered in the
52 picturesque village settlements of the island with Byzantine Churches and
Medieval towers.
Boulders rising up from the deep blue sea, fertile valleys, springs with
rushing water, picturesque villages, are just a small part of this special
place.
Since the island is located in the centre of the Aegean Sea, it is exposed to
humidity, the Meltemi, a north wind blowing in the Cyclades during the
summer months. As with most of the islands in the Cyclades group, Naxos has hot
summers and mild winters.
