NAXOS ISLAND photos - ΝΑΞΟΣ
Naxos island also belongs to Cyclades, it's 2h north from Santorini and it's much cheaper than other islands. It has many nice sandy beaches, crystal and hot waters, good food. Some beaches are good choice for windsurfing.

In the entrance of Naxos you can see ''Portara'' (it means ''huge door''), the entrance of an ancient temple for God Apollo that was never ended. There are myths and legents why it was
left like this. It was built in a way that it faces Dilos, the island that was devoted to Apollo (its close to Mykonos and its an archaelogical momument- there are no people living on it).
Try to get lost in the small paths walking at the old city of naxos, a medieval village with narrow paths that was built in a castle for the fear of pirates! Your mind and body travels in the medieval ages, where there are no cars and noises, just castles, pirates and knights!
