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.

Andros
The northernmost and second largest island of the Cyclades is Andros. Despite its population of about 10,000, it is not as heavily visited by tourists as some of the other islands in the area. And this, although here so many things are different. Among other things, the vegetation is more lush and the places are very well maintained and "dressed up". This is primarily due to the wealth of the shipowning families who are at home on this island and ensure that nothing falls into disrepair here. As a tourist, you have the opportunity to go on numerous hikes or take advantage of one of the many water sports on offer.
