Naxos Greece travel guide of the island
This video shows you in detail a Naxos Greece travel guide of the island. We spent the whole day after renting a scooter driving through all of the small towns which included Chora, Filoti, Chalkio, Apeiranthos, Koronos, and Apollonas. The views are stunning, there are lots of coffee shops, distilleries bakeries to choose from. We even went to a small fishing Village and had pizza. We did this in May so it was pretty windy and even cold at times on the scooter. Our suggestion would definitely do this route as there's a lot to see, tons of history, churches etc. If you're not in summer you might want to rent a car.

Η Κύμη είναι κωμόπολη και λιμάνι του νομού Εύβοιας. Βρίσκεται στη μέση της ανατολικής πλευράς του νησιού και έχει ιστορία αιώνων ως ναυτική πόλη.
Από την εποχή του αποικισμού στην αρχαιότητα είναι γνωστές δύο ομώνυμες πόλεις: η Κύμη της Αιολίδας και η Κύμη (Cuma) της Καμπανίας, που θεωρείται η πρώτη ελληνική αποικία στη Δύση. Γεγονός που αποδεικνύει την ακμή της δεύτερης αυτής αποικιακής πόλης είναι ότι όταν καταστράφηκε, από την έκρηξη του Βεζούβιου, ξαναχτίστηκε ως νέα Πόλη, η γνωστή Νάπολη της Ιταλίας. Χαρακτηριστικό της πολιτιστικής ακμής της είναι η ύπαρξη της αρχαίας μάντισσας Κυμαίας Σίβυλλας, που έχει απαθανατίσει ο Μιχαήλ Άγγελος στις περίφημες τοιχογραφίες του στην οροφή της Καπέλα Σιστίνα.
Από τα μέσα του 19ου αιώνα ως τις αρχές του 20ου είναι η εποχή που η Κύμη γνώρισε μέρες νεότερης ακμής στον οικονομικό, κοινωνικό και πολιτιστικό τομέα, εξαιτίας του διαμετακομιστικού εμπορίου που διεξήγαγε με εμπορικά κέντρα του Εύξεινου Πόντου και της Γαλλίας. Κυμαίοι καραβοκύρηδες μεταφέρουν τα προϊόντα της Κύμης και ιδιαίτερα το φημισμένο μαύρο κρασί της στα λιμάνια αυτά και κυρίως στη Μασσαλία, όπου το αγοράζουν οι Γάλλοι για να χρωματίζουν τα δικά τους κρασιά.
