The village of Scado is one of the mountainous villages of Naxos with less than 150 inhabitants. It is located 34 km away from Chora (the capital of the island).

Two Byzantine churches with many frescos were built in Scado. During the 14th and 15th August the village of Scado becomes crowded. The 15th is dedicated to Virgin Mary and the village is organising festivities for these two days every year, offering food and local wine while mucisians are playing local music.
