A few words about Naxos:
Naxos (ΝΑΞΟΣ in Greek)
is the largest island (428 kmē ) in the Cyclades
island group in the Aegean Sea, which separates Greece and Turkey. The island
was the centre of archaic Cycladic culture, then part of classical Greek
culture, and is part of modern Greece. It is a popular tourist destination,
with easily accessible ruins. One set of ruins is what is left of a temple
built on a rocky beach. Long ago there was an earthquake sending most of the
temple into the sea. Still standing, however, are two columns with a single
lintel across them. The remains of the structure resting in the sea can be
seen from the shore and explored by swimmers.
Naxos has many very beautiful beaches, such as those at Agia Anna, Agios
Prokopios, Alikos, Castraki, Mikri Vigla, Plaka, and Agios Georgios at Hora,
the capital of the island, which has 9,000 inhabitants.
Naxos is famous as the most fertile island of the Cyclades. It has a good
supply of water in a region where water is usually inadequate. Mount Zas (Zeus
1,004 metres) is the highest peak in the Aegean Sea, and tends to trap the
clouds, permitting greater rainfall.
