Chora Naxos is the capital city of the island of Naxos, the largest in the group of islands, the Cyclades.
The city overflows with architectural wonders, historical monuments, and breath-taking views of the Aegean seascape. Visitors enjoy taking strolls on the city’s walking trails or the sparkling white beaches. The city’s architecture climbs the island hill like stacked building blocks and at the top sits a Venetian castle, a heavily fortified mansion built to protect the island of Naxos from the invading Turks. The city is lined with stone-paved roadways and a mix of Cycladic and Medieval architecture painted in bold blue and stark white.
