GENERAL INFO

Distance from Piraeus 104 NM
Area 440 sq. Km
Population 18,000
Naxos was one of the major centres of the Cycladic culture. Around 3000BC, the main settlements appear to have been near Hora, on the hill of Kastro and at Grotta. The island was later colonised by a party from Karia, led by a son of Apollo named Naxos.
As with most of the islands Naxos declined in importance in the Classical age.

At the port.

I haven't found a good bus service on Naxos island some years ago. I had to rent a motorbike.
