This year’s Naxos Festival 2025 at the iconic Tower of Bazeos celebrates the soul of craftsmanship with the powerful theme: “The Thread That Unites Us.” A thread that ties together generations, memory, and art. A thread that invites us to pause, reflect, and connect through creativity.
In Naxos, tradition isn’t just remembered — it’s lived.
It breathes in every loom, every handwoven textile, every rhythmic gesture passed down over time.
And in the Cyclades, where time slows and stories are still handwoven, this thread carries us between past and present, tradition and creativity.
In the Heart of Naxos…
…where sunlight weaves through stone and the Aegean breeze carries whispers of memory,
there is a thread.
A thread that binds art to heritage,
that connects grandmothers to granddaughters, and ancient knowledge to modern expression.
At the historic Tower of Bazeos, once a monastery and now a cultural beacon,
the Naxos Festival unfolds once again with the theme:
“The Thread That Unites Us.”
Where to Experience Traditional Loom Weaving in Naxos
This year, artists Maria Grigoriou and Yiannis Papadopoulos lead a touching tribute to textile art — illuminating its ancient roots and contemporary resonance.
But this thread doesn’t live only in galleries or installations.
It lives in homes. In villages. In the quiet power of women weaving history into cloth.
In Naxos, loom weaving is not just a skill — it’s a living heritage.
At ELaiolithos — We Live This Thread
We love supporting local culture that mirrors our own values at ELaiolithos: connection, authenticity, heritage, and creativity.
For us, this thread is not symbolic — it’s real.
We proudly support the artistry of loom weaving because it is deeply part of who we are.
Our handwoven textiles are not décor.
They’re woven stories — crafted by local Naxian artisans, shaped by generations of skill, tradition, and love.
Supporting Local Artisans in Greece
At ELaiolithos, we don’t just admire this tradition — we live it.
You’ll find it in every pattern inspired by Naxian mountains, in every thread chosen with care, and in every weave that echoes the stories of Naxian women.
Supporting festivals like this isn’t just about promoting art.
It’s about preserving identity, empowering creators, and keeping the soul of the Cyclades alive.
