Aegean

The terrain of the Aegean ranges from the dry, rock-fringed Cyclades in its central waters to wooded mountains along the northern Greek coast, giving this sea a distinctly island-shaped character. Near these coordinates lies Naxos, the largest of the Cyclades, where cultivated valleys and uplands meet sheltered coves and open water. Its main town, Chora, is marked by the Portara, the monumental marble doorway of an unfinished temple of Apollo. Ferries connect Naxos with neighbouring islands and mainland ports, while local traditions include potatoes, graviera cheese and Kitron, a citron liqueur.
