Tourism: Crete and Naxos among the top summer destinations for Spaniards

Featured Tourism: Crete and Naxos among the top summer destinations for Spaniards

Crete and Naxos are the stars among the five alternative proposals for vacations in Greece that the award-winning travel blog "7 Continents, 1 Passport" singles out for 2024 after evaluations by its Spanish-speaking readers.

According to the author of the list who has traveled to 50 countries and recently visited Naxos at the invitation of the Municipality, "the largest and greenest island of the Cyclades has the luxury of remaining authentic, combining white cube-shaped houses and medieval Venetian castles. Naxos, which has received the gift of fertility from the ancient gods, looks like a large impressive garden with countless local products.

Impressed with Cretan culture, the journalist declares, stressing that "Cretan hospitality is one of the most representative of Greece, as Cretans are always looking for an excuse to feast and celebrate". Next on the list are the Peloponnese with its captivating nature, the Greek thermal springs and nautical excursions to exotic coves and unexplored Aegean and Ionian coasts.

"In Naxos, May closed with a 10% increase in ferry traffic compared to last year. Occupancies during the three days of the Holy Spirit were satisfactory, while the forecasts for the continuation are optimistic. We aim to expand the markets beyond the "traditional" ones in Europe, but also to enrich the daily life of the visitor to the island with more experiences and activities", said the Deputy Mayor for Tourism of the Municipality of Naxos and Small Cyclades, Vangelis Katsaras.
