The Greek city of Naxos is steeped in mythological mystique and ancient history. The purported home of Dionysus, the Greek god of wine, is fringed with glorious beaches, collisions of turquoise waters and sapphire horizons. The ruins of The Portara frame the sky like a door to another world, while renovated Venetian mansions offer a glimpse into the upper crust of yesteryear. The 13th-century castle is simply breathtaking.

Born in Naxos in 1921. He was one of the most distinguished personalities of arts and letters of the post-war generation. In the museum you can see his desk, his library, his personal effects, theater programs, personal documents and honorary plaques. Visitors can study all his published work both in origin or translated.

At our workshop you can learn about the technique of marble sculpture, using traditional Naxos marble under the guidance of a sculptor, either individually or in a group. Our workshop also welcomes artists or amateurs who would like to work independently, providing them with all the necessary material to sculpt or paint!

The prize of this museum is a white marble figurine that is the earliest example of sculpture in Greece.
This museum is beautiful. It is situated close to the old town and and building is beautiful. The tickets are reasonably priced and children and students don't pay. The exhibition is very extensive, so prepare good 2 hours for the museum. It begins from the very early ages of the formation of civilization, craftsmanship and infrastructure as a whole. Could be seen a lot of hand painted and very well preserved artefacts. The museum has a true size replica of a tomb and how people used to be buried. The development and change of religion is also well presented throughout the exhibition. Totally worth the visit.

This typical Kastro house, the home of the Della Rocca family, was recently opened to the public.
A highlight of our honeymoon. We are both musicians (and music teachers) in the states and LOVED the performance. Beautiful musicianship, and wonderful to see what seemed to be an authentic representation of another culture and get the opportunity to participate in the music & folk dancing. The wine and honey cinnamon raki were a nice touch!!! Would highly recommend a concert to anyone visiting the area!
