Naxos

Naxos, the largest island in the Cyclades, is a stunning destination for photography enthusiasts. With its picturesque villages, ancient ruins, and beautiful beaches, Naxos offers a wealth of opportunities for capturing breathtaking images. The island's rugged landscape, dotted with olive groves and vineyards, provides a stunning backdrop for landscape photography. The charming villages of Chora and Apiranthos are perfect for capturing the traditional architecture and narrow streets. The ancient temple of Apollo and the Portara, a massive marble doorway, are also popular photography locations.
