Sangri
About
As one of the most beautiful villages in Naxos, Sangri offers a harmonious blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. The village's narrow, paved streets are lined with whitewashed houses, creating a quintessential Cycladic atmosphere. At the village's entrance stands the Panagia Tripodiotissa Church, a 16th-century structure that was once among the island's wealthiest monasteries. According to local tradition, the Virgin Mary herself indicated the site for its construction.
The village is also home to several traditional windmills, which stand on a small hill overlooking the village and the surrounding area, serving as the village's landmark.
Sangri is renowned for its agricultural products, particularly the famous Naxian potatoes, and its proximity to the beautiful Plaka Beach. The village's lively community is evident in its bustling squares, traditional tavernas, and local shops offering handmade crafts. For the best experience, visit during the spring or early autumn when the weather is pleasant, and the village is less crowded. Sangri also serves as a gateway to nearby must-visit places in Naxos, including stunning beaches and hiking trails.
