The Island of Naxos

The Island of Naxos is a unique blend of ancient ruins and beach culture. The largest of the Cycladic Islands, Naxos is the childhood home of none other than Zeus, king of the gods.

While we were on the island, we did a 2-hour walk across the island, seeing many of the islands beautiful sites.
