More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the minivan and the island exhales around you — dry thyme on sun-warmed stone, a wide blue that touches both coasts, and a narrow lane that climbs toward a small village. The drive across Naxos opens the view in both directions; when you reach the trailhead, the air is cooler and the island’s interior feels quietly wild.
