Naxos

Naxos is one of the largest and most fertile island of Greece, captivating visitors with wide possibilities for exploration and leisure. This island paradise offers different activities and makes sure there's something for everyone, alongside various entertainment and relaxation options to indulge in.

The island is mostly attractive from its pretty harbor and capital city, Chora. A prominent sight to behold is Portara, the temple of Apolo, the island's most renowned landmark which is located on the neighboring Palatia Islet. This ancient marble gate once belonged to an unfinished Greek temple dedicated to the god Apollo, adding a touch of history and grandeur to the landscape.

Chora's captivating architecture brings you to its Venetian past, as it has numerous fortified palaces from the Duchy of the Aegean era. 

In the island, tourists can also explore the Bazaios Tower near Sagri village, the Glezos-Crispi Tower in Chora, the Belonia Tower in Galanado, and the Della Rocca-Barozzi Tower in Chora, each bearing its unique historical significance.
