Alyko is an exotic island located in the southwest of the Naxos. The place is known for its impeccable bunch of lush cedar trees that stretch along acres upon acres of the land. The kind of groomed natural setting one gets to see here is quite unique and beautiful, making it one of the most loved destinations on the island, especially for nature lovers. There is also an abandoned ‘mystery building’ with cuddling monkeys graffiti and all kinds of archways and views. Try to visit during dry weather as exploring becomes easy during this time. From nature viewing, trekking, bird watching to simply relaxing and enjoying the views, this forest treasure has something to offer to anyone who comes here.
