Description
A pleasant walk through time to experience the life of another era. An unforgettable experience on the island that has much more than beaches and sun.
You enter the Venetian castle from the South Gate ('Paraporti'), one of the three entrances to the citadel. You walk in the colorful flowery alleys, admiring architectural constructions from another time and getting into a medieval atmosphere that still echoes the past. It is one of the three castles in Greece which are still inhabited these days.
You walk by the Ursulines Monastery and former School and then visit the "Avaton 1739" cafe, located on the nuns' dormitories terrace, enjoying the most spectacular view of Naxos Town and its whereabouts.
Then, walk to the Catholic Cathedral and the East Gate. Through the maze of narrow alleys, you end up at the North Gate ("Trani Porta") and then all streets lead to the port where you will feel you have become a piece of the Naxian history. You stroll into the Old Market, an inviting area filled with souvenirs, art shops and much more. It is a perfect place to take amazing photos!
When you reach the main seafront, you will have a break to taste Kitron (Citrus) Liquor, the famous unique Naxian liquor. Last but not least, you will stop at the Portara, the island's landmark, where apart from getting amazed by the size, the grandeur, and the history, you enjoy a magnificent sunset.
After the walking tour, you will have the opportunity to experience a tasting session with cheese, wine and more Naxian delicacies.
