Major attractions and hidden gems to explore

Welcome to the island that takes your breath away from the second you first set eyes on its shores; an island beloved by Gods and adored by men throughout the centuries, that shaped entire civilizations and attracted countless visitors through the course of time. Naxos is the mythical childhood home of Zeus, the almighty Father of the Greek Gods, but perhaps more judiciously, it’s the homeland of Dionysus, the God of wine, of pleasure, of good life! Ancient Naxians thanked Dionysus for their blessed, fertile lands that produce exquisite wine, rich produce, honey, and the famous citrons of Naxos, as well as high quality marbles and emery, and until this day, Naxos is considered by all an island truly blessed!
