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.
