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

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.

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 🙏🏻✅

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.

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.

Visiting the Temple of Apollo, or Portara, in Naxos was a truly magical experience. Standing at the edge of the sea, with the sun setting through the ancient marble doorway, I felt deeply connected to the island’s rich past. The breeze carried a sense of timelessness, and the views over the Aegean were breathtaking. It’s more than just a photo spot—it’s a place to pause, reflect, and marvel at the beauty and spirit of ancient Greece. A moment I’ll always treasure.
