Exhibits a collection of over 2000 stones, minerals, and fossils found on the island through various excavations.
Portara
The most recognizable landmark and the symbol of Naxos, an iconic 6th century BC marble gate on the islet of Palatia in Naxos harbor. It is the only remnant of a temple dedicated to Apollo. The rest of the temple's stones were carried away millennia ago. Only the entrance remains because it is made of stones too big to carry away!
Provides some of the quietest and most photogenic alleyways in town. It was built by the Venetians in the early 13th century and remains one of the few surviving medieval towns in Greece. The area was fortified against attack by locals and pirates.
Well worth a visit, with a good collection of Bronze Age Cycladean artifacts and displays from Neolithic to early Christian times—a good place to get out of the sun.
Roman Catholic Cathedral (13th century), with a display of family crests and ornately painted capitals
Which boasts a wealth of marble ornamentation.
Private museum with lots of old photos and artefacts.
