Agions Prokopios beach
Naxos Island, steeped in myth and history, offers a captivating backdrop for our conference. According to ancient lore, it is the birthplace of Zeus, the king of the Greek gods, imbuing the island with a unique cultural and historical significance that the ancient Greeks themselves saw as timeless. Naxos was central to the early Cycladic civilization, whose artistic legacy, Cycladic art, dates back over 5,000 years, embodying the simplicity and purity of form that would influence Western art for millennia. This heritage, combined with its rich archaeological sites and traditional Cycladic charm, provides an inspiring atmosphere for intellectual exchange and reflection. Beyond its history, Naxos is famed for its stunning beaches with crystal-clear waters and golden sands, where attendees can unwind and connect with nature. The island’s blend of history, mythology, and natural beauty promises a memorable and enriching experience for all participants.
