There is something enchanting about Sangri, a village located at a distance of 12 km southeast of the capital city and main port of Naxos. This is not your typical-cycladic style destination, as dominant colors include grey and brown, like in most inland villages of Naxos, where the medieval architecture of stone-masons and craftsmen still dominates the sublime scenery - in constrast to the coastal settlements with their typical repetition of whitewash "greek-style" designs. Sangri is no folklore destination, to a considerable extent because it controls the island's bread basket, the Kambos area, where Naxos' most astonishing beaches are also situated. Because of its plentiful local produce, the community has not needed to sell its distinctive characteristics off to the mass tourism market. It is also no coincidence, that ancient Naxians have chosen Sangri to construct the oldest (560 BC) and arguably most important temple of the island, one devoted to earthly fertility. The village is also famous for its Byzantine monasteries and a galaxy of chappels out in the fields, some boasting frescos dating back to the 4th century AD. Ayiopetra is the ideal base in Sangri and Naxos overall.
