Naxos, Greece

Things to do in Naxos

Everything in the Atlas for Naxos: places to see and things to do, in one list.

Portara

A temple doorway on an islet at the harbour, left standing because the marble was too big to steal.

Monument · 30 minutes

The unfinished kouros

A ten-metre marble figure lying where it cracked in the quarry 2,600 years ago.

Archaeological site · 45 minutes

The interior, not the beach

Half the island is farmland at altitude — cheese, potatoes and Venetian towers, twenty minutes from the sand.

Rail, road or ride · low

This page exists because Naxos has at least 3 of them in the Atlas. Destinations with fewer do not have a page for this, on purpose — a facet with one or two entries is a heading with a list under it that you could have read in full on the page you came from. Back to Naxos.
