Naxos

Naxos is the biggest island of Cyclades complex, covers an area of 428 sq km and stands at a distance of 108 nautical miles from the port of Piraeus. Its north part has a view to Mykonos and Delos, the south one to the two Koufonisia, Iraklia and Schinoussa, while eastwards stands Donousa and westward Paros.
The island enraptures the visitor upon entering the port. The castle’s view and Portara, the door of the church that was never finished, welcome to the glories and mysteries of the island.
Panagia Mirtidiotissa, the small island at the port completes the reception.
