There are several underground rivers on the island, which is why the island is very fertile. Many residents are therefore involved in agriculture. Naxos is known for the marble that is mined here. Since ancient times,
Naxos, like the neighboring island of Paros, was known for its good marble. Naxos is an island that can serve as an island hop base. The connection with the other Cycladic islands is very good and the central location makes Naxos the ideal base for exploring the Cyclades.
