Naxos is a Greek island in the Aegean Sea belonging to the
Cyclades. It is the largest and highest island of the archipelago.
It is located almost at heart of the Aegean, about 140 km from
mainland Greece.
Naxos is a part of its fame to the mythology: Theseus y abandoned
Ariane collected by Dionysos, tutelary deity of the island. The city
naxiote (adjective associated with the name Naxos) was powerful at
the time archaic and prosperous during the Byzantine Empire. It was
the center of State latin to resist the advancing Ottoman.
The island is rich marble, emery are exported and its agriculture
produces the famous potato Naxos, but also cheese and honey. Tourism
accounts for only half the income of the island. The largest city
and main port east Naxos
Naxos is mainly composed of metamorphic rock: granite for third and
marble and shale for two-thirds. A small portion of the island is
made up of rocks latest: sandstone, marl and tuffs dating from 3.5
million years. Between the layers of marble, mainly in the
north-east of the island, there are the emery. There are also iron
ore whereabouts of the magnetite [7].

excesses and summers hot and sunny that refreshes meltem [4]. The
island is experiencing an average of 258 sunny days, 76 days of rain
and 0.2 days of freezing in the year. If the summers are dry (seven
dry months from April to October), winters are relatively humid
(five months sprayed from November to March). The comments by Naxos
(Chora) between 1933 and 1990 have helped establish the annual
averages of 18.5 ° C for temperature and 375 mm in precipitation.

summer). The siroccos followed (13.1%), then winds north-east
(12.8%), south-east (6.7%) and north-west (5.8%) .

side-by-the-wind and therefore side-au-vent: there is more wind and
rain further east and north-east of the island.
