The temple of Dimitra and Apollo

It is the most important archaeological site of Naxos, dating back to the 6th century BC in Gyroulas south of Sagkri. You can also visit the museum inside the archaeological site.

The chateaus

The inhabitants of Naxos used to build chateaus in order to protect themselves from the incursions of the pirates, and so the island is full of well reserved chateaus. Some of the most impressive are the tower of Cheimaros, the tower of Belonia in the village Galanado and the one of Zeugolis in Apeiranthos.

The Castle in Chora

The beautiful Castle in Chora was built after the conquest of Naxos by the Venetians and Markos Sanoudos. It is a typical example of medieval architecture and today inside the castle you can find the Archaeological Museum, the Monastery and the school of the Ursulines as well as the tower of Della Rocca Barozzi. Wander in the wonderful narrow streets, see the Venetian coat of arms, and enjoy the sunset as the sun “dives” in the Aegean Sea.

Apeiranthos

Apeiranthos village is located 25km away from the Chora of Naxos. At this picturesque village someone can find the five museums that cover almost the whole history of the island: the Archaeological museum “Michalis Bardanis”, the Folklore Museum, the Geological Museum “Petros Protopapadakis”, the Visual art museum and the museum of Natural History.
