Naxos Trip Overview
Discover the unique charm of Naxos Town under the magical rays of the setting sun. Along the way, stops at picture-perfect settings with amazing views are not only inspirational for photography at best but highlight the narrative of the island’s treasured myths. Every step of the immersive walk leading down travels the imagination from the world of the ancient gods to the Middle Ages and the walled fortresses of the ruling Dukes.
Explore the winding backstreets of the Old Town where only a local can lead the way through the labyrinth of narrow passages while delving into Naxos’ mythical past. Glimmers of light reflect the awesome myth of the Minotaur of Crete and the marriage of Ariadne with the god Dionysus on the island. The inspirational walk ends at the famous ‘Portara’ which was constructed in antiquity to honor the god Apollo and remains, until today, the distinguishing landmark of Naxos.
