9The Iconic Portara Welcomes You to Naxos

One of the first sights that will catch your eye as you arrive in Naxos Town (Chora) is the iconic Portara, a massive marble doorway standing alone on the islet of Palatia.

This structure is the remains of an unfinished temple dedicated to Apollo from the 6th century BC. It offers one of the best sunset views on the island, making it a must-visit spot for photographers and romantics alike.
