Kastro

Kastro

The Venetian-built Naxos Castle, or Kastro, stands as a sentinel over Chora, boasting a unique round design and four levels. Built with materials from the ruins of an ancient acropolis, the castle once served as both a fortress and a hub for education, politics, and religion. Today, visitors can ascend via an elevator to Avaton Cafe for sweeping views. The castle's historical charm is further enhanced by the surviving Glezos Tower, that houses the Byzantine Museum of Naxos. Explore shops, cafes, and historically significant buildings within its walls, and lose yourself in the labyrinthine streets.

Sailing Tours

One of the experiences topping the must-do list when on Naxos is joining one of the many sail boat tours offered by local companies. Tour programs vary, but very often include swimming in secluded coves, visiting nearby islands (such as the whitewashed Paros) and beaches, snorkelling, and stopping for lunch at a scenic waterside location somewhere in or around Naxos.
