Holiday Attractions & Hotels in NaxosNaxos is also the most fertile island of the Cyclades archipelago. It has a good supply of water into a region where fresh water is usually very hard to find! This is because Mount Zas with 1,004 meters is the highest peak in Cyclades and tends to trap the clouds, permitting abundant rainfalls. Whit a such good climate, isn't surprising at all that Naxos is a premier Greek tourist spot! On the island are present all types of accommodation estates, from basic rooms and apartments to luxury hotel resorts and villas lining awesome beaches or being settled in lively cities such as Hora.
Holiday makers looking for perfect beach vacations are on the right place in Hora because there are great amenities for many water sports like swimming, scuba diving, snorkeling, sailing, yachting, parasailing, jet-skiing and others. The outdoor activities are preferred daytime holiday attractions, just like lazing on gorgeous beaches and doing nothing!
As all Greek islands, Naxos is mentioned in many legends and myth. A legend says that in the Heroic Age, before the Trojan War, Theseus abandoned on this island Ariadne, daughter of Minos, the king of Crete, after she helped him killing the Minotaur and escaping from Labyrinth. Dionysus, the god of wine and protector of the island, met her and fell in love... Dionysus married she, but Ariadne, unable to bear her separation by Theseus, killed herself and ascended to heaven, being now visible as a constellation - the constellation of Ariadne!
