According to Greek mythology, the young Zeus was raised in a cave on Mt. Zas ("Zas" meaning "Zeus"). Homer mentions "Dia"; literally the sacred island "of the Goddess". Károly Kerényi explains:

This name, Dia, which means 'heavenly' or 'divine', was applied to several small craggy islands in our [Aegean] sea, all of them lying close to larger islands, such as Crete or Naxos. The name "Dia" was even transferred to the island of Naxos itself, since it was more widely supposed than any other to have been the nuptial isle of Dionysus.

It is one of the most picturesque villages of Naxos and has been characterized by National Geographic as one of the most beautiful villages of the Cyclades. We are talking about Koronos!

The cobbled streets, the arches, the white houses, its history and the inhabitants with their linguistic idiom are some of the things that make it truly special.

Built at an altitude of 540 meters on the slopes of a ravine, Koronos wins you over at first glance.
