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.

A must see if you’re in Naxos! The sunset here is absolutely beautiful and it’s a fairly short walk to get to the top for a closer look at the temple. Note that this is not an accessible space, you will have to walk up several steps to get to the top. The temple is also very close to the port which makes it an easy stop.

It's a great place to visit for sunsets. It does get crowded and the paths are a bit slippery so it's best to wear sneakers. I've seen many women wear high heels and other foot wear for getting pictures done so it can be done but beware as it is rocky.

Temple of Apollo is beautiful. It was an easy walk up from the port which is where I got in from. The views are stunning. There are stairs and u can walk all the way around and have views of the sea or of Naxos.

The one spot that catches anyone's eyes as soon as the ferry approaches the island. This gate for the temple is the significant landmark that tells you, "This is Naxos." However, there isnt enough pieces left in the area for the researchers to gather more information on why this temple was never completed or what happened to it aince by the time the researchers started to investigate, most pieces of the temples are already removed from the site. Suppose this will be a forever mystery. Lovely place to watch the sunset here... the night lights probably make it a great view as well, but be careful while walking around in the dark.

Do a quick web search before visiting in order to be able to fully admire what you have in front of you! While I wasn't able to visit during sunset hours, trust me, it is when you need to visit. The golden hues embrace this monument wonderfully 🙏🏻✅

Loved this little hike up to the top. Nice views of the city's white buildins from the top. Stayed for sunset. Such beautiful colors. Free to walk up.

An Amazing place to visit once you get off the ferry. Great way to start your vacation on Naxos.
