Naxos Greece - Old Chora and Kastro


Walk the narrow covered streets, with their unexpected dead ends, their twists and turns, their steps, deadlights, corbels and balconies.  In the old town all roads lead to the sea, but they also lead us to the gates of the castle which Marco Sanudi built in 1207. We enter either by the south gate, the "Paraporti", or by the north gate, the "Trani Porta" (strong gate). The Trani Porta and the Portara are undoubtely the two most familiar landmarks of Naxos.
