Greek Town of Naxos, (Greece) - Travel Guide

Take a tour of Greek Town of Naxos in Naxos, Greece -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.

On the eastern section of the island cluster of the Greek Cyclades is the ancient Naxos.

This island's history spans as far back as 3000 BC and is known as the center of the ancient Cycladic civilization.

Naxos, a town of the same name, is noted for its classic Greek whitewashed limestone and marble structures, due to the islands natural abundance of such materials.

This marble doorway was erected in the 6th century as the entrance to a temple for Apollo which was never fully completed.

Though primarily a harbor town, it is filled with ancient ruins, Byzantine sanctuaries, and even nightly events.

Visitors can also explore the vast beaches and rolling mountain range that dominate the island.

Arrived in Naxos May 10 1979 after taking the Magic Bus from Kings Cross Station London (£15 one way), then ferry called Naxos, leaving Paraeus 8am, arriving Naxos about 4pm. Slept on beach near Flis Vos until I found a room near the Castro for 50p a night with a lovely family. Before the airport was built I loved to walk alone round the coast and interior and enjoy the solitude and peace. Have been back 11 times since, and also visited many other islands. Recommended.
