Naxos is the largest island in the Greek Cyclades. The bustling main town of Naxos Chora is situated
on a vibrant waterfront, the old original houses spilling from a Venetian Kastro (castle) through a labyrinth
of narrow winding alleyways. Naxos is a ferry hub, and has an extensive yacht marina. My pictures
show the beautiful town, ferries and boats, whitewashed churches, and the Portara of the unfinished
Temple of Apollo. The interior of the Venetian castle contains interesting shops, tavernas and restaurants,
and my favourite resting place, the Hotel Anixis.
