Um pontinho branco em meio ao azul turquesa do Mar Egeu, Naxos foi uma das maiores surpresas em nossa viagem à Grécia, em julho de 2014. Menos famosa do que Santorini e Mykonos, a maior das ilhas Cíclades esconde uma mistura de ruínas antigas e praias deslumbrantes, com algumas das mais bonitas paisagens da Grécia insular. Segundo a mitologia grega, Naxos é o local onde Zeus, rei dos deuses do Olimpo, teria nascido e passado sua infância. Também nesta ilha, Teseu teria abandonado Ariadne, após a fuga de Creta, onde enfrentou o Minotauro no labirinto do rei Minos (para saber mais, ver o post sobre Creta!). Dionísio, deus do vinho e protetor da ilha, teria se apaixonado pela princesa, mas ela não suportou a separação de Teseu e teria se matado alí mesmo. Essa história é contada na ópera Ariadne auf Naxos, de Richard Strauss. Mitologias e lendas à parte, Naxos é realmente um paraíso dos deuses. As praias de areia fina, o mar tranquilo em azul turquesa e um céu azul sem fim, compõem as paisagens do litoral, enquanto as belas montanhas rochosas do interior pintadas com o verde da vegetação escondem pequenas vilas de casinhas brancas reluzentes. Logo ao aproximar-se da ilha avista-se um grande portal retangular de mármore, que é sua marca registrada. Trata-se de uma parte remanescente do antigo Templo de Apolo, hoje em dia conhecido também como Portara, que significa porta grande. O templo foi construído no século VI a.C., durante o reinado de Lygdamis, quando Naxos era um importante pólo naval, comercial e cultural. Mais tarde, os cristãos dominaram a ilha e acabaram por construir uma igreja sobre os restos do antigo templo, como era costume naquele período. Ao redor da igreja, desenvolveu-se um importante assentamento em local estratégico, que deu origem à principal cidade de Naxos: Chora. Para explorar o interior da ilha, nós alugamos um pequeno carro e resolvemos nos perder (literalmente nos perdemos hahaha) por entre as estradinhas e aldeias desse lugar charmoso. Entre ruínas de templos da grécia antiga, moinhos de vento e igrejinhas com cúpulas semi-circulares, as paisagens eram as mais pitorescas possíveis. Visitamos as vilas de Agios Arsenios, Vivlos e Galanado, que ficam na parte mais plana da ilha e depois subimos as montanhas até a charmosa Apeiranthos, com vistas deslumbrantes. No mesmo dia também deu tempo de visitar as ruínas do Templo de Dionísio, em Sangri, construído em 530 a.C. totalmente em mármore da região. Remonta ao final do período arcaico grego, sendo um dos primeiros a conter colunas jônicas, que estão expostas no museu anexo às ruínas. Para relaxar no fim do dia, ainda fomos a algumas praias incríveis, como a Agios Prokopis e Agia Anna, que são bem animadinhas e cheias de bares e restaurantes em volta. Já a Aliko, que fica em uma área de preservação mais ao sul, é beeem mais tranquila e deserta do que as demais. Foi nessa última praia que tiramos uma das mais incríveis fotos “padrão” de todas e é a tela de fundo do meu celular até hoje. ~MV Gostou das dicas? Então salva no pinterest para ler mais tarde:
