Our Thalasea Center is located on Parthena Beach Mikri Vigla, which is Greece’s top windsport location. The bay of Mikri Vigla has some of the strongest
winds in the Cyclades, created by a venturi that is formed by the squeeze caused by Naxos and the neighboring island of Paros.
The particular character of its landscape lies on the very high mountains (the Mount Zas, 1,004 m, is the highest of the Cyclades) and the uniquely special mountain villages. The island extends over a surface of 428 km2, its coastline is 148 km long and it has 18,000 inhabitants.
During the ancient years, Naxos was the island where Dionysus was worshipped. According to mythology, it was on this island that he met the Minoan Ariadni, who had been abandoned there by Theseus. From ancient times until today, the island has an exceptional production of citrus fruits, famous wine and tasteful cheese.
Naxos combines golden sands with the mountain beauty. Large enough to be explored, Naxos promises you unforgettable holidays. Due to its size and fertility, Naxos, is one of the most self-sufficient islands of Cyclades, with its own production of agricultural and dairy products. The famous Naxian cheese, potatoes and citrus are just a small example of them. An ideal island for relaxed vacations, Naxos is combining the characteristic colours of Cyclades islands with the perfect climate and the beautiful natural elements. On this island you can meet the tallest mountain of the Cyclades islands but you will also come across many welcoming fertile valleys. One thing that will impress you and that will surely remain in your memories is the open and welcoming spirits of the locals, their hospitality and their peaceful temperament. You will feel welcomed anywhere you go and for a few days you will be a part of a particular community of warm traditional people that constitute the greatest beauties in Naxos.
