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.

Sikinos
With only about 300 inhabitants, Sikinos is perfect for vacationers looking for peace and quiet. On this island there are both barren mountains and fertile valleys, and whoever wants can reach and visit all three places of the island in a relatively short time. However, extensive hiking is difficult on the island due to the steep slopes. One can definitely say that this island is something for vacationers who are looking for absolute peace and tranquility. Agriculture and fishing, along with tourism, are the main sources of income for the inhabitants, who live a modest life.
