Romantic Chora at Night - Naxos, Greece

Naxos Greek Island, Greece (5/31-6/4/2009) - Naxos is one of the largest and greenest Greek Islands with a wonderful main town (Chora), many beautiful beaches, and a population of only 18,000.  

Naxos' Chora is a maze of winding charming streets with archways, shops, and restaurants – just plain wonderful day or night!  

The Portara (see photo), a massive marble doorway crowning a hilltop, is Naxos' famous landmark. It is all that remains of an unfinished 6th-century B.C. temple to Apollo.

We took an ATV 4-wheeler and explored the stunning almost deserted Naxos' beaches (Kastraki, Plaka, and Pirgaki). Little bit of nudity (alright!). These beaches feature lots of sandy wide-open beaches with a Greek Taverna for lunch - we love eating our way through the Greek Islands. Too much fun! 

We also rented a car and toured the villages of Naxos. The wonderful hilltop village of Apiranthos has marble streets, walls, steps, and houses - basically marble everywhere (amazing!).

We took a regular speed ferry to the Greek Island of Naxos from the Greek Island of Ios seeing other Greek Islands of Sirikos and Felegandros. These Greek Island ferries are nice!
