BEST ISLANDS FOR 2014







Due to Trip Advisor’s Awards and the travelers’ choice, a Greek island is in the Top-10 of the Best Islands Worldwide.

At No.6 the island of Naxos represents the Greek blue and proves that it’s the most favored European island.

A big island in the heart of the Aegean Sea, with imposing mountain massifs and fertile valleys, inhabited by cheerful people with a tradition in music and dance, and full of beauty that enchants visitors.

Floating gracefully upon the waves like a fertile leaf. Naxos with its long history, important monuments and vibrant tourist life, occupies a distinct place among the Cycladic islands,

No matter how many days you spend on the island, there will always be more hidden niches to discover, beaches you haven’t seen, towers and fortresses you did not have time to visit, ancient temples whose secrets remain elusive. ..
