Naxos is a Greek island in the South Aegean, the largest of the Cyclades island group. Its fertile landscape spans mountain villages, ancient ruins and long stretches of beach. The namesake capital (also called Hora or Chora) is a port town filled with whitewashed, cube-shaped houses and medieval Venetian mansions. Kastro, a hilltop castle dating to the 13th century, houses an archaeological museum.
Tavli means "board" in Greece. It is also the name used for various games played on a backgammon board.
Only few Serifos beaches are organized with tourist facilities, such as Livadi and Livadakia. The majority of Serifos beaches are secluded and perfect for total privacy.
Mines are a significant part of the history of Serifos. Certain galleries and plants exist still for the visitors to see in the southwest side of the island (Koutalas, Megalo Chorio or Mia Chorio, Îœegalo Livadi).
The beach of Kolona is basically a narrow strip of land that connects Kythnos to the islet of Agios Loukas. However, it has a particular charm, partly due to its fine, golden sand and the sea lapping at both of its sides.
Patmos, an Aegean island in the north of Greece’s Dodecanese island group, is a significant Christian pilgrimage site. Its Cave of the Apocalypse is where John of Patmos (St. John the Theologian) is said to have written the Book of Revelations. A fortresslike, 11th-century monastery dedicated to the saint overlooks the whitewashed houses of the hilltop capital, Hora (also known as Chora).
