A beautiful Portara on Naxos, located out on a small rocky islet connected to the mainland by a easy walkable path. Beautiful view looking back at the town and port. I wanted to make it out for sunset, but it was cloudy. A definite must do when in Naxos.

Beautiful temple remains, look absolutely stunning lit up at night (and you miss the crowds). Nice manageable steps and path, though it gets a bit slippery in the rain. Great views back into the town as well.

Beautiful site. Best seen during the day if you want to avoid crowds. However, the sunset there is stunning if you’re happy to share the space with a large crowd 👌 the site is free which is great and is literal only a few minutes from the port and a plethora of restaurants and the Venetian castle which is also stunning

Come here at sunset, like all the other tourists. (If the weather is good.) It's a must see, must do experience. The golden light makes the stone glow. Somewhere in the large crowd on the day of our visit, an unknown disrespectful idiot was flying a drone above the Portara. Please stay home with your drone. And don't pretend to be Hercules and pick up a large stone like someone did recently. The Temple of Apollo may be unfinished except for this Portara, but let it be as it is. Please.

Free entrance to this beautiful monument placed just close to the main city. A lot of people during sunset but manageable. It is a amall hike to get to the top, but most should be able to do it.

Beautiful/ Majestic structure. The wind felt amazing, after being under the sun for so long, but hard to use a selfie stick 😆. It is a must spot to take pictures and learn about Greek history.

Obviously very crowded during sunset. The views are nice but you can find many more better places on the island to enjoy same views. The temple is surrounded by high and ugly fence which is visible on all pictures. Pity not many descriptions exist or I simply missed them in the crowd.

If you’re in Naxos, this is definitely a must-visit. The view from the temple is absolutely mesmerizing—worth every step. The whole visit doesn’t take more than 15 minutes, but the breathtaking scenery makes it unforgettable. Standing there, overlooking the sea, you can almost hear your own heartbeat.
