Sights of Naxos island

 

The sandy beaches scattered around Naxos make it an ideal island for nature lovers, but the real Naxos lays in the mainland and the villages up in the mountains. Most of the villages are picturesque and have excellent local cuisine and lovely cafes with amazing view. Apeiranthos is a pretty village on the slops of Mount Za at 650m altitude and a visit there is a must during your stay in Naxos.
