Naxos is a Greek island in the Cyclades group in the Aegean Sea, and the largest island within that archipelago. As an island territory, its connectivity to broader telecommunications networks depends in part on submarine cable infrastructure. Two submarine cables land at Naxos, linking it within a domestic Greek network of submarine connections.
Both cables landing at Naxos connect to other points within Greece, making this landing point part of an intra-national, inter-island corridor. The Thetis cable and the Cyclades B cable together serve to integrate Naxos into the Greek submarine cable network, supporting connectivity across the Aegean island chains.
Thetis is a submarine cable with a length of 660 km, with a ready-for-service (RFS) date of 2022. All endpoints on this cable are located within Greece, making it a domestic inter-island system. Naxos is one of the landing points along this cable's route through Greek waters.
Cyclades B is a shorter submarine cable spanning 52 km, with an RFS date of 2020. Like Thetis, all of its endpoints are located within Greece. Its relatively short length reflects a more localised connection within the Cyclades island group, likely linking nearby islands across a narrow stretch of the Aegean.
Within Greece's submarine cable network — which encompasses 20 cables across 36 landing points — Naxos hosts 2 cables, placing it in the upper 86% of Greek landing points by cable count. Larger Greek hubs such as Chania (5 cables), Athens (4 cables), and Tympaki (4 cables) carry more connections, while Naxos sits alongside Aethos, which also hosts 2 cables. Smaller than the leading Greek hubs but part of a broad national network, Naxos occupies a secondary tier in Greece's submarine cable landscape.
Naxos functions as a two-cable landing point within an exclusively domestic Greek corridor. Both the Thetis and Cyclades B cables connect Greek endpoints to one another, meaning Naxos serves as a node in the intra-Hellenic submarine cable graph rather than as a gateway to international or intercontinental routes. The Cyclades B cable, at just 52 km, reinforces local inter-island connectivity within the Cyclades, while the longer Thetis cable at 660 km suggests a broader reach across multiple Greek island points.
In the wider map of Greek submarine cable infrastructure, Naxos represents the integration of one of the Aegean's largest islands into a domestic network that spans 36 landing points, ensuring that major Cycladic islands maintain dedicated undersea connections alongside the more internationally oriented hubs on the Greek mainland and Crete.
