The regional district of Naxos ( Greek Περιφερειακή Ενότητα Νάξου Periferiaki Enotita Naxou ) is one of 13 regional districts in the Greek region of South Aegean . It was formed on the occasion of the administrative reform in 2010 from four island communities of the former Cyclades prefecture and corresponds to the area of ​​the Naxos province, which existed until 1997 as a subdivision of the Cyclades prefecture. In proportion to its 20,933 inhabitants, the area sends four members to the regional council, but has no further political significance as a regional authority. Today it is divided into the two communities of Amorgos and Naxos and Little Cyclades .
