The Island of Naxos

Naxos
Naxos is the largest Greek island of the Cyclades island group in the Aegean. It has some  beautiful beaches like Agios Prokopios and Kastraki. The largest town and capital of the island is Hora or Naxos City.
When you get off the ferry, you will see one of Hora’s landmarks: the Naxos Gate of Bacchus or Portara.

You can walk around Old Market Street: a maze of little streets around the old Venetian castle.

There are a lot of cats in Naxos. During the tourist season they flourish. It seems that out of season they have trouble finding food.
