Built deep amid a nature-rich ravine graced by small stone-walled houses and narrow picturesque alleys not accessible to cars, Keramoti is a traditional village in the Naxos uplands, located at Stavros Keramotis –the largest intersection of rural roads on the island.

With small houses close to each other and replete with colorful gardens, the village of Akadimi, in the heart of the Tragea valley, is as pretty as a picture postcard.

In recent years, an increasing number of people, including foreigners, have chosen to build their holiday homes in Monitsia –a pretty village with few permanent residents but still flowered courtyards, set amidst the olive groves and the lush vegetation of the Tragea valley.
