Naxos, the largest island of the Cyclades Islands Archipelago whose real name in Greek is Kyklos which means circle for how they are positioned, which according to myth gave birth to the God Apollo the sun god and the Goddess Artemis the Goddess of the hunt and protector of the countryside, and again to the sad story of Ariadne daughter of Minos and Pasiphae who helped Theseus to escape from the labyrinth of the Minotaur who had to abandon her in Naxos because the God Dionysus fell in love with her, making her then his bride who gave the origin of the popular saying ,“plant ace”.

The island of a thousand opportunities ranging from relaxing on soft sandy beaches that stretch for about ninety-eight kilometers, to the picturesque villages of the hinterland where flavors and scents will take over your senses among its olive and vine cultivations, with a heritage archaeological to be discovered as the absolute symbol of Naxos “the Portara” and the Temple of Demeter, on Mount Zeus more than a thousand meters high to conquer and for sportsmen a wide choice of water sports such as windsurfing, kitesurfing and diving.
