Local attractions on Naxos and the Small Cyclades
No Greek island would be complete without an impressive ruin or temple to gawp at – and Naxos is no exception. From the magnificent Portara standing tall at the entrance to Naxos Town – the emblem of Naxos and the region's most visited site – to Naxos' very own mini Acropolis, the Temple of Demeter, the islands are full of intriguing places to wander around.
The island has its fair share of fascinating museums giving visitors an insight into some of the area's cultural heritage: there's the Eggares olive press museum, a citron distillery which offers free tastings and a collection of wonderful museums in central Naxos.
