You can book and hire a yacht with a captain--or without one, if you have a license--and enjoy a one-day trip to Schinoussa or Koufonisia. Finally, with a motor yacht charter, you can enjoy a two-day or three-day cruise to Mykonos and Sifnos.
Naxos is the largest island of the Cyclades, famous for its magical beaches, unique architecture, and its impressive ancient monuments. Thousands of tourists visit the island every year to become part of the vibrant nightlife and traditional Greek atmosphere the island offers.

At the western end of Naxos, you will find Chora. As on every Greek island, Chora is the most famous attraction, filled with cobbled streets and medieval architecture that will surely take you back in time. The famous Venetian Castle of Chora, built in the 13th century by Marco Sanoudo, wholesomely enriches all travelers’ experience.
