Naxos
The largest island in the Cyclades, Naxos, is located a good 30 kilometers south of Mykonos in the Aegean Sea. It is separated from its western neighbor island Paros only by a strait about six kilometers wide. In the east, the shores are very steep, while towards the west the land turns into a large plain. From north-northeast to south-southwest runs a mountain ridge with Mount Zas (also Zeus or Oxia) roughly in the center. These are imposingly steep granite cliffs. The gorges are mostly strikingly green and the villages shine in bright white in the sunlight. You should also look for the ancient ruins on this island.
Naxos is inhabited by about 18,000 people. Many of them live in the port town of Naxos in the flat west of the island. Here the ferries arrive or depart and you can see the bustle of the fishing boats, but also the pleasure craft. Naxos is the seat or rather the diocese of the Greek Orthodox bishop of Naxos-Paros.
The ferry port on the island of Naxos offers connections to the other Greek islands of Donoussa, Tinos, Folegandros, Amorgos, Mykonos, Kimolos, Thira, Thirasia, Paros, Ios, Milos, Kythnos, Crete, Syros, Schinoussa, Astypalea, Sikinos, Koufonissi, Kea, Iraklia, Sifnos and Anafi, as well as to the ports of Piraeus, Rafina and Lavrio on the Greek mainland. A total of 26 routes are offered here several times a day by the shipping companies Cyclades Fast Ferries, SeaJets, Golden Star Ferries, Blue Star Ferries, Small Cyclades Lines, Minoan Lines and Hellenic Seaways.
Anafi
Anafi is still something of an insider's tip of the Cyclades, as this island has not yet been particularly developed for tourism and is only served by a few ferries. If you still dare to come here, you will be welcomed by a warm and honest hospitality and (almost) untouched nature. If you are looking for big shopping opportunities and parties, you will not find them here - life on Anafi is rather contemplative and modest, but equally beautiful and authentic.
The ferry port on the island of Anafi offers connections to the other Greek islands of Rhodes, Thira, Paros, Chalki, Ios, Kasos, Crete, Milos, Karpathos and Naxos, as well as to the ferry port of Piraeus on the Greek mainland. A total of 13 routes are offered here several times a day by the shipping companies Blue Star Fer ries and Anek Lines.
